Review summary

Alaska was a bucket list trip. We did not enjoy all the unruly and entitled kids running around. It was disappointing that kids ruled a trip planned for 2 years!! Many people had the same concerns, maybe this should be looked into.

Great ship and staff, but the times at port for most of the stops are too short and at the wrong times of day
