Review summary

Tried to rate the port of calls but did not open. Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan are all basically landlocked ports so expect high prices. Excursions are expensive but the Glacier/whale watching and salmon bake in Juneau was a great experience. Do not recommend the White rail train in Skagway - especially with the best part of the ride closed down. Also do not recommend the local trolley to the small waterfall at the end of the island that stops at a salmon stream (they were not noteworthy) as there is much more to see in town, do the in town trail instead for free. Salmon are running in August so that is amazing to see. Cruise ship was nice and the crew is very friendly. Internet was not very good. The touchless Medallion that you wear around your neck replaces the old cruise card for totally touchless cruise experience with purchases, accessing rooms and getting on and off the ship (also serves as traceability for COVID exposure if it wear to happen from what I was told). Passengers were good about wearing mask and were reminded by the crew if they forgot - policy for the elevators of no more than 6 generally was ignored. Use the stairs if you can. There were no illnesses on our cruise that we were aware of for the second week of August. We were told the ship would be at 57% capacity but it was at 95%. What is good about sailing now is we were the only cruise ship in each port versus the normal four so we had each location to ourselves without the huge crowds.
