Review summary
This was our first cruise during the pandem!c. We felt this would be a safe voyage for us because we’ve sailed with HAL to Alaska once before and they did such a stunning job pre-cov!d that we trusted them implicitly…and I’m pleased to report that they did not disappoint. Our room stewards were outstanding. The guests masked appropriately. We spent much of this voyage in our room enjoying the balcony, easy and expansive room service menu, the long list of available movies (we watched a record breaking 22 movies; nearly all of them new to us though not new in release date!), and breathtaking views of Alaska. We had great weather on this trip and Glacier Bay was a transformative experience this time. I pray that everyone has such a lovely Glacier Bay viewing experience! Icy Strait Point was also new to us this time and we really enjoyed this casual, homey port. Once again, HAL knocked it out of the park.Ship tip
The elevators on the side of the ship - with the beautiful ocean view - are almost always available quickly!
