Review summary

Alaska is absolutely stunning. Definitely want to wait till late may if wildlife is more of what you are after though.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

This is probably the only complaint I have about this particular cruise. Embarkation was horrible. Everyone packed in the terminal, not sure if they had a changeover issue, and then right around 1pm they opened the gates and it was everyone for themselves, absolutely chaos.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lots to do, the go carts where fun, but do realize some people don't know how to drive lol. I finished with 11 laps, others only did 6. Think they thought it was a leisure drive not a race lol.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

SIX and Jersey Boys where really good. Definitely recommend them both if you can

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The Atrium is a poor design location. Very noisy and hard to hear. They even mentioned that during a future cruise seminar that the Bliss Atrium is not ideal.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

The elevator buttons are on 2 to 3 banks. If you hit up on one, only 2 or 3 elevators are on that. Hit up on all of them so you can get all 8 to have a chance on your floor.
