Review summary

The cruise was great. I traveled with my mom who is elderly. She was overwhelmed by how much walking was required to get around the ship as all activities and dining is spread out around the ship. If you are going to sit to dine find your favorite wait staff and request them every night will get exceptional service that way. Our cruise was enjoyable and relaxing. Would definitely cruise again.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was very nice. When we arrived the bathroom had a sewer smell but the cabin steward took care of the issue very quickly. Bed was made up everyday. I felt spoiled.

Ship tip

Buy the unlimited drink and bar package worth every penny.

Glacier bay was the highlight of the trip. Wish there was better communication on board about the time of arrival at the bay.
