Review summary

5 if us on this trip. My wife and I and 3 of our 4 adult boys. Great cruise. Boat in good shape. Bucket list. Crew was amazing. Especially Jose in the R bar. Tell him Jeff says hi. Weather was in the 80s all week. Could not have asked for a better week. Definitely do the train ride in Skagway and the Ocean Raft excursion. Did the glacier and whale watching tour in Juneau - both very enjoyable. Saw a pod of Orcas and Humpback whales. Saw the gardens in Victoria which were beautiful. Definitely get a balcony. We had starboard side and saw whales and icebergs. Food was just ok in the windjammer - it’s a buffet. Main Dining room was very good and service was great. Got the 3 dining package. We ate at Chops - excellent: Giovanni’s just ok. Appetizers were very good. Izumi for lunch (extra) and dinner. Both good. Entertainment was good. Shows, trivia, game shows. All in all a great trip. Not sure we’d go back, but great memories. Off to the ABC islands next year. Loyal to Royal.
