One of our favorite cruises. We felt so relaxed and loved the ship.

5 out of 5

It took just minutes. We were on the ship just after 11am.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food in the mdr was outstanding. The food at the Horizon buffet was very good but not a lot of selection.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We played bingo just once because it was so expensive. We didn’t participate in the trivia or other activities.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We went to one show and the comedian wasn’t very good. We enjoyed the classical strings trio throughout the cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Outstanding service throughout the cruise.

Ship Quality

Beautiful ship and very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a mini suite mid forward. It was wonderful. We loved being forward because it was so easy to get a forward elevator.

Ship tip

I would not drive in and use the parking garage. It is so busy and chaotic where the ship is docked.

Haines, Alaska

We had a sunny day and enjoyed the trip up the mountain to Kroeschel wildlife preserve. It was a little rustic for us and you need to have total mobility to climb the area.

We had a wonderful day. It was rainy which we loved and the shore excursion was fantastic. The glacier gardens are not to be missed.
