Review summary

Overall, I really enjoyed my time with this cruise and happy to have nicer weather than expected! The only thing I would recommend to others would be to go end of August, early September as a lot of places were closed due to end of the season which was a bummer.

Embarkation

Getting on the first day was a little chaotic, but getting off and on at each port was super easy and quick!

I actually was upgraded to the Balcony, so it was 9572. It was great & I would never do a smaller room again because I enjoyed sitting on my balcony during this cruise! Cleanliness was great too. The staff made sure our room was refreshed when asked!

Ship tip

Go to the events and do not be afraid to talk to staff!

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

Juneau, Alaska

I enjoyed the shore excursion, but I think it would've been hard to explore with how many shops were closed. Finding a way to visit these places when still in season as a lot of them indicated end of season was end of September. Felt like a ghost town when we went to explore as we had so much time here!

Skagway, Alaska

3 out of 5
This was a beautiful day, but again, very low on what was opened and to do outside a shore excursion!

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
The BEST day! We got so lucky with the weather! Rangers were super informative!

Ketchikan, Alaska

3 out of 5
Enjoyed the shore excursion, but the port being so far from town and the little time spent in Ketchikan made it hard to do more out of the stop. Would encourage more time to allow for people to do a shore excursion and explore the little town!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and quick!
