Very clean. There was plenty of room to put our luggage under the bed which helped make the room feel big enough.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! We did not do an excursion because the ship did not dock. We just viewed the glacier from the upper decks of the ship.

This port had great scenery. We did a whale watching excursion and loved it other then the rain, but noone can control the weather so you roll with it.

Amazing

Perfect cruise to explore South East Alaska. The ports were just right (although it would have been nicer to have been able to stay in Juneau longer), meals were good, and the spa was perfect to relax in the hot tub.
