Review summary
Fabulous cruise! We loved every day on board. Staff were amazing and the ship was lovely - not too big. Our 3 ports were very similar with lots of jewellery stores but, you can find some hidden gems among them. The excursions that we did were fabulous and gave us a glimpse of the Alaskan wilderness.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We got on the ship quite early in spite of long queues at immigration. Make sure you have an ESTA if a non- US citizen using the Visa waiver scheme. Even with one, it takes ages.

We had a mini suite around mid-ship that was perfect. Plenty if storage space and very comfortable.
Ship tip
If you are using anytime dining, Bernini is superb. We got soda packages and I also had the premium coffee. It was well worth adding the coffee and getting a good quality coffee at any time.
We loved this lovely little town. Buildings kept in an old-fashioned style. Full of the same shops as the other ports but, there were one or two independent shops that sold very different things.
Shame about the rain when we visited, but a really interesting port. We did 2 trips here with Princess - Timberline Trek and Whale watching. Both were excellent.
Looking forward to sailing out of LA to Alaska in June of 2020. I was told that soon after the ship would be sold to P and O. I have sailed on the Golden twice before and have always enjoyed it.
