Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was a little disappointing. Even the Pinnacle Grill wasn't up to prior experience, with lots of gristle in the porterhouse steak and not very attentive service. Food in the main dining room was ok, but not great. Buffet lunch flowed well but food was just OK. The bartenders were excellent tho!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We didn't participate in many activities

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the stage shows and some of the entertainers in the bars.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our steward Lorena was very good! The waiters were mostly good and several of the bartenders were excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean and well-maintained. Some areas had confusing flow and sometimes hard to find the restrooms. Overall we liked this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable cabin. Needs more electrical outlets and some of the existing ones were loose and dated.

It was cold and rainy and we had to go outside at several points getting our feet wet. We ended up on a 5 hour train ride with wet feet!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Everything flowed well and went quickly, but as Alaska is known for it's rainy climate you need to work on drainage and covers
