Review summary
This was the first cruise we have been on since 2019 and it is apparent much thought has been put into simplifying embarkation and disembarkation to minimize large queue's of people, well assuming people can follow directions, that is. Many folks seemed to have problems with the Verifly and ArriveCAN app. They seemed easy and straight forward to me. I would encourage people to figure out how to use those app's, as it really does simplify things and avoids standing in an hour long line. The muster station drill has been vastly improved and takes maybe 10 minutes of your time instead of much more in the days when we had to gather and wait for a demonstration to teach us how to fasten a life jacket. We enjoyed the ports, but in hind sight wish we would have done a longer cruise that allows for more time to be spent in the ports. I've never been on a cruise with only ~4 hrs in port and that was the case for 3 of the ports. Overall the cruise was a hit with us, the crew were great, the buffet and MDR had typical cruise food and the specialty restaurants were excellent. The ports of call were interesting and some excellent excursions are available. I would recommend that for the Icy Point Straight port, that you either book an excursion, or just stay onboard as there really is nothing else there . . . a few shops and that's about it.Embarkation

Ship tip
We rented a cabana on Lido deck and enjoyed having butler service for lunch and dinner as well as a great and not crowded place to view the glacier's. It was well worth $199 for the week.
