Review summary

Our only criticism was that we had a time dining and except for first night we're not offered any tables to share. We made a fuss the last night and they found two others to seat with us at a table for 4. We have never had this situation on other cruises.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Seattle port was great. Efficient checkin and we were on board shortly after noon.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Crown Grill is a must go even with the upcharge. The food rivals all the best steakhouses out there. The main dining room dinner was just okay this cruise.

Excursion to Mendenhall Glacier. The trip was probably an hour too long for just this one destination.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5

The town is quaint with shops and bars. We did an excursion via bus to the Yukon Suspension Bridge and salmon bake in Liarsville. We made stops along the way for photo opps. Scenery was just just stunning.
