Review summary

Great ship. Time in all ports is too limited, especially in Ketchikan. I am guessing this is due to having to make it round trip from Seattle. I would do a northbound or southbound trip next time to allow more time in each port.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Purposely embarked late making it a very quick and easy process.

Again, no time in port. You are there at night. This is a stop to comply with an antiquated US law.

Thanks for the review. For more time in ports, take a one way cruise between Alaska and Vancouver or vice versa. The round-trip cruises from Seattle always have shortened port times.
