Review summary

Don't wait, see Alaska now! I'm in my mid 40s and was able to do all the activities Alaska has to offer. Someone told me not to wait until your "older" because you want to be able to experience things like the helicopter for the glacier tour. It's true.

Our waiters in the main dining room were amazing! Tao and Karl, they really made the experience top notch! Some other employees not so much in to helping customers but that's expected when you have 2800 employees (I guess). Some of the staff just raised the bar and went above and beyond! An example is when the head maitre d and executive chef prepared filipino food for our table! To top it off, the effective chef came by to check on us. Now that was amazing!!!

Ship Quality

A little outdated but they kept it clean and well maintained. The layout is fine but it would be helpful ifat every level near the elevatorand stairsof there was map/ guide that inspire included thē deck level and aft, midship or forward. The existing maps are ok but could be improved and would be so helpful.
