Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Our favorite was the main dining room, great food and service. We had a small issue with the specialty restaurant, the server was very pushy about getting us to add a tip. We explained that we prepaid, which we double checked to be sure of, and he told us if we didn't tip he wouldn't get anything. It made for a very uncomfortable situation.

Ship tip

If you are a smoker you are going to have a difficult time as there is really only one small area other than the small enclosed area in the casino

The Victoria Highlights tour was awful. Bus was so packed I couldn't sit with my husband, I couldn't see anything , and the tour guide was a bit boring.

Just curious... why would you book on one of the largest Cruise ships and then feel like it was too big?

The cruise was a dream come true. Alaska was as magnificent as I dreamed it would be.

Disappointed

Awesome Alaskan Cruise
