For my first time cruise this was a very pleaseant experience. To not miss out on any sites in Alaska I would recommend cruising earlier in the season. But if you enjoy fewer crowds and don't mind possible weather delays this is the cruise for you!!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very smooth and trouble free, I thought it would take longer than it did being my first cruise.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food could have used a little more flavor (salt), but was good over all. Lemonade, tea and orange juice served by staff were a bit watered down from ice kept in pitchers. Buffet had quite a variety to choose from.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Sat in on serveral of the talks given by the cruise director Val on the areas we would be visiting and what to expect. Very informative and pleasant, looked forward to the next one each time.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The stage show was enjoyable and entertaining.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room stewards were very kind and accommodating, always a joy to encounter and interact with. Our favorite waiter in the buffet was a joy to see and always said hello and called my by name. I looked forward to eating in the areas she served.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very clean, well laid out and well lit. So many areas to explore and always clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Room was a good size, plenty of space to move around in and not feel cramped. The bed was a bit hard for me but overal an excellent room with balcony.
Ship tip
If you plan to explore the ship and not stay in your cabin, bring comfortable shoes to walk around and explore the ship. You will do a lot of walking!
Time here was going to be short, but was shortened even more due to weather. Too short in either case. Also arrived in the evening after everything was closed. Would be nice to arrive earlier in the day for a decent experience.
