Enjoyed an end of summer cruise to Alaska and we had great weather for our trip. Beautiful scenery and great experiences.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Very Clean dining areas and much to choose from. Our food was prepared wonderfully.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Was wishing to be able to enjoy pickleball onboard as it was too chilly to enjoy the pool. The hot tubs were good but we did not have any robes to go to/from the hot tub. My suggestion - turn the pool into a giant hot tub for everyone to enjoy the water while in Alaska.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Shows were good. The musicians were very talented and provided us many opportunities to dance the night away. We enjoyed Choir of Man very much. The show was not too controversial with political leanings—just a few. Same with the comedian. So we were able to enjoy our night.
Children's Programs
No kids with us
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The waiters and room stewards were the best part of the trip! Such nice and helpful personnel. It is so nice to be on vacation and be treated respectfully by pleasant people. So different from airport employees. Thanks for that. I feel like I am on vacation instead of entering interrogation.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Great and not much more to say on that.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
I have not cruised in awhile but I do remember my cabins from the earlier cruises I took years ago. This cruise had wonderful cabins. Even our friends who booked a window cabin had a nice size room. It was the first time I cruised and felt like we were not in closet sized units.
Ship tip
Bring a robe if you want to try the hot tubs going to Alaska. And the activities seem more geared towards teens and kids—which is fine so unless you like to work out all the time—not much for adults to do in the daytime.
Seattle could have been better—there are shades of what it used to be. It is going through much construction and is dirtier than ever. Too bad, but we did have some fun there.
