Review summary
The cruise ship overall was clean. Lacked in entertainment and didn't have much to do if the weather was bad. The app on the phone was terrible. Kept having to sign in multiple times and couldn't book anything but dining through the app. You had to book everything 1st day otherwise everything was booked. The dining room staff seemed very inexperienced and took forever. The ports of call were great but seemed very commercialized. If you go on this cruise, get away from the downtown portions and do excursions. Weather is a major factor both on and off the ship. We had a major excursion get cancelled because of weather. Overall it was great to see Alaska but the ship experience wasn't the best I've been on.Embarkation
