Review summary

All in all this was the trip of a lifetime having completed the top of my bucket list by visiting Alaska. We stayed a few extra days and went to Denali where we did an ATV (4 wheeler) excursion which was lots of fun and I'd recommend it to everyone. We also went to Fairbanks and to the hot springs in Chena which was well worth the drive. Be prepared on the drive to Fairbanks as it was night and we were lucky to find a gas station open.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Everything was very nice. I was a little disappointed in the Horizon Court as a couple times there was no silverware on the tables. Also I had to clear a spot and get my own drink. Although I don't mind doing these things it is supposed to be offered.

The size was larger than my last cruise and there was more than ample storage. The bathroom was considerably larger. Everything was always kept clean.
