Review summary

Great way to see Alaska. As first time cruisers, many things were unclear. Especially the dining options. Although communications seemed to be frequent, many things were unspoken and not intuitive.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was fine. Arriving from out of country and boarding a US bound cruise was a little redundant.

Scheduled to cruise but got cancelled. We had a medical evacuation that seemed to throw us off schedule. They blamed it on weather. It might have been a little of both
