Review summary

We had a good time. Our stewards were amazing. The embarkation and disembarkation were enough to turn me off cruising for good. Note: I did not have the option to choose our proper itinerary- we did a 7-day with stops in Ketchikan , Juneau and Skagway.

Why assign times if you end up putting everyone in a holding area jammed in shoulder to shoulder for hours.

I can understand your frustration with embarkation and disembarkation. It baffles me when I read stories like yours.
