Review summary

Alaska was beautiful, but I wish we selected another cruise line!! There was always a line to get support at guest relations, they tried charging for everything! The reservation system was horrible to do or see any onboard activities. The drinks were great!!

Children's Programs

My son love the kids club, but the hours were crazy. They would close for several hours during the day and evening!! Not sure why, but this was a bummer especially on sea days.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Turn down service was only once per day, which meant we had to sit on my son’s bed not a couch throughout the day.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was clean

Cabin / Stateroom

Next time, try Princess Cruises- we've been to Alaska twice with them and it was wonderful!
