We only went to the main dining room once . We didn’t like the choices of food and what we choose wasn’t good.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was at the very front of the ship looking out as the bridge does. We liked the cabin .. fun. My hubby has walking issues so the trip any where was tough. Other than that it was great.

Ship tip

There was not a lot to do at night . We did not like the ‘ America’s Test Kitchen’ we are in our 70s and there wasn’t a lot to do.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
We went to the Lumberjack show( in the rain) but it was fun. The weather didn’t slow the lumberjacks down.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
We went on a ships tour. We a bus and headed toward the Yukon. It was pretty but there was so much construction on the road it slowed us down and quenched the flow of the tour. We then went to a play back in Skagway . It was fun . And about Soapy Smith.

Cruise Glacier Bay

4 out of 5
Beautiful but there was a lot less snow and the glaciers did not seem to be as magnificent as we had seen in May on past cruises . The Rangers came aboard and gave a very good talk and presentation.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the port. No excursion but we ate outside on the dock and saw five float plants take off on there tours. Amazing. We went shopping and found many things at the end of season sales.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

5 out of 5
We went in September so we didn’t see the many waterfalls as we had seen on previous trips but still enjoyed the cruise through the Inland Passage.
