The complimentary buffet was excellent. However, the sit in restaurant service, both premium and complimentary was EXTREMELY slow, especially on the last two nights.

It was complete chaos. The elevators took forever, and they would not let us carry our bags down to the 7th floor.

Alaska is gorgeous and ship has a lot to offer, but could improve.

Ports were great but the cruise ship was a disappointment
