Review summary

Enjoyed the cruise. Alaska is beautiful and Seattle was much nicer than I expected.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Not bad at all. I have noticed in this terminal, as well as New Orleans in April that the staff are not all experienced and we were given conflicting information, but everything worked out.

Food, drink, and service was exceptional. One rude hostess at Taste, so we didn’t go back there. Plenty of other options. We absolutely loved Ocean Blue.

Cabin / Stateroom

Tiny cabin, Tiny shower. Beds weren’t as comfortable as other ships. Mid week started smelling a sewer scent from the toilet. Steward proactively had maintenance come and work on it.
