Review summary

Overall, the onboard experience was fantastic. We especially loved the entertainment! However, the design of the itinerary was a bit silly geographically, leaving us with not enough time in most ports, especially Ketchikan (the last shuttle back to the ship runs two hours before all aboard time. Why?). That said, the day spent cruising around Glacier Bay with the National Park service makes this trip an unmissable experience.

The staff were delightful and incredibly helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was sparkling clean the whole time, there were tons of hand sanitizer stations available, and I love that there are full sinks available (and someone reminding everyone to use them) at the entrance to the buffet.
