ALL service personnel were 👏 amazing . Always smiling ( how can they do that !😁 )and courteous . Bravo to every single one of them 👏.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Every ate we've been to was extremely clean . But , in the buffet area it was impossible to get around because of such a tight space .

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great and clean , including shower / bathroom .

Ports of call

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5
After a 20 minutes bus ride each way , there's hardly anytime left at the port . I'll NEVER reccomend this excursion .

Juneau, Alaska Did not visit port

Not enough time at the port . Very disappointed not being able to visit Juneau . The Tongass National rain forest was amazing . A definit yes . Mendenhall glacier was OK. However the Salmon Hatchery can be eliminated . Our stomach were sick after seeing hundreds if not thousands of crowded salmons . Horrible !

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

2 out of 5
Not pretty . Should go to Glacier Bay instead.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
It was amazing ! . Bears & Whales watch . Our tour guide ( don't remember his name ) was awesome. But he needs a speaker or speak louder . We were sitting at the very back of the bus and couldn't hear what he was saying. But once on our tour he was great and very informative . There was another man with a " bear gun " whi was great as well . PS: It did help thar both of them were very handsome 😍

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

1 out of 5
Again , because of the 20 + bus ride each way we had to rush . More time is needed there in order not to be rushed and stressed out .

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5
Our driver and tour guide were great . But the stop at the donuts store was unnecessary . Absolutely nothing special about those donuts.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Good .
