Everything wonderful except for disembarkation. Would do it all again so would be able to see all we didn't get to because of time. I would stay 3 days in Denali next timeEmbarkation

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Buffets were fresh with lots of choices. Breakfast was the best. Dine Inn burgers were very good.

Spa with hydro pool and therma chairs were well worth it. Acupuncture with Krystal was amazing and rewarding. Loved BBKing band and the Test Kitchen

BBking and piano bar were hopping and lots of fun

Ports of call
Took the boat then the train in Skagway. Live trains so it was a highlight. Beautiful views and the history was informative and fun
Best of Juneau whale watching. We had already seen the Kenai Fjords and whales so would have done another
Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia
Would have stayed longer in Victoria and not stayed in Vancouver. Victoria, well with it along with the Butchart Gardens. The Empress hotel treated you like a queen
Disembarkation
Very disappointed We were to be expedited to Vancouver customs. But had to deal with our luggage and needed a wheelchair for a family member but were not give the consideration. Our paassport was held up but no one on the ship would discuss anything with us. We waited 45 min without knowing anything and our daily members were sent on
