Review summary

My husband and I went on this cruise with 2 other couples. Ages 50-65. We thought a few of the port times were quite short. In Juneau we only had 5 hours and we stood in line for Tracy's Crab Shack for 2 but it is worth it. Victoria was only a 3 hour stop so not much time there. In Sitka, we go there 2 hours before the gondola opened and had to be on the ship 3 hours after that so it was also a short port time.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Typical cruise food but several options. Repetitive dishes urges you to pay for specialty restaurants a few times to break it up but all in all they were good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Hot tubs were nice and pretty much empty after a cold morning in Alaska.

Entertainment
