Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Outstanding but I wish the desserts were better. All the sweets tasted "processy".

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Didn't care for the comedy experience. I wish there were a variety of comedians from different racial backgrounds. The areas for children and teens were amazing! OMG the fitness was awesome and hands down the BEST spa on any ship I've been on!!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was very clean and super comfortable. Although the drawers in the bathroom were not clean but no biggie. Looovvveee the shower and the different shower head features.

Ship tip

I wish there was more "fun" type entertainment with more "energy" if that makes sense. I love to get hyped up on a cruise ship.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
Gorgeous as it was my first time in Seattle, beautiful city. We had a late flight and was able to see the city.

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Juneau was ok, the excursions were super expensive. Ketchikan was outstanding, pllleeeeaasseeeeeee let us spend more time there. We loved it way better than Juneau. It felt like a true Alaska town and much more beautiful than Juneau.

Skagway, Alaska Did not visit port

Super disappointed we didn't get to visit this port.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
What can I say, it was perfect!

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

5 out of 5
We did a tour with the nicest man, he was native to the island. He was amazing! It was much more BEAUTIFUL than Juneau and I would have rather spent more time there.

Victoria, British Columbia

2 out of 5
This is a gorgeous city but what is the point of porting at 7:30 pm paying money for a bus (almost 50 bucks!) we waited almost 45 minutes for when it is getting dark. We walked around for a few minutes in the dark, all the stores were CLOSED, so what was the point of even stopping here??

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Perfect!
