So glad after being canceled and rebooked this actually sailed. We had a great time. We saw a couple other ships at sea but not in the ports. The crew said that never happens, there are usually 3-4 ships in each port. It was great having the ports to ourselves.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Best embarkation we have had. Almost everything done prior on the Medallion app. We showed our ID’s and negative COVID tests and we were on.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Nothing bad just thought a higher grade line would be better than Royal Caribbean and Carnival. The food was a little fancier but not better.
Exception was the pizza, it truly is the best pizza at sea.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We missed having a piano bar and karaoke. After 10:00 the ship was pretty quiet.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The park rangers and naturalist were great. The entertainment was just ok. The comedian was horrible. The singers and dancers were mixed.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Great staff, they seamed sincerely glad to be back at sea. My mother uses a walker and I anticipated having to help her at the buffet but no. The staff was always quick to assist her and so nice doing so.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Beautiful ship, clean and well maintained. I don’t know if that is always the case or just because they had been down so long. The layout was strange, kind of choppy. No decks really went all the way around.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
First time with a balcony. We had a mini-suit which was nice. The weather was often rainy so it was nice to see out the balcony and be able to come right back inside.
Ship tip
The Medallion and app are nice for room access and finding other members of our travel party. The Medallion app seemed quirky for making dinner reservations and checking activity schedules.
Had a great time whale watching even in the rain. Third party operators do fine here. We also did the team which was great. The rain had stopped so we were able hike around some on mount Roberts.
Our best weather day made Skagway really nice. A scenic little town. We rode the White-pass Railway. Very scenic and worth it even though we could only go half way due to track maintenance.
We enjoyed exploring in the rain. Princess provided umbrellas so that helped. The Lumberjack show was touristy but fun. The totem museum was educational. Creek street was cool and the creek was packed with salmon.
