Review summary

Enjoyed all the ports and excursions. Train was very cool but husband doesn't like heights he was a bit nervous honestly with the mountain sides it's on. Side by side trail rides were so fun. Panning for gold was enjoyed by the teens. So beautiful but we really lucked out with perfect weather.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were good as always. Main dining room was alright but I always feel bad for the staff in mdr so we tend to avoid the busy run around experience of it.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Better than average places plus the scenery is do beautiful on inside passage you just want to be entertained by the views.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The musicians are always good, the main shows are usually pretty bad like normal. Still wish they would do a better job of shows ect. Most are cheesy and not too great.

5 out of 5

4 out of 5
Always clean the staff always work hard, please people tip the hard overworked staff that make your holiday special if they take great care of you at the end of your cruise.
