Review summary
We booked the cruise to celebrate my 60th birthday and was looking forward to the trip. We enjoyed the ship, food was very good but the activities seem to be lacking for us anyway. I was disappointed their was only one gift shop and did not care for the selection. Plus I thought you needed a magazine or newspaper selection. I had massage and it was very good; other then that we did not participate in any of the events. We don't gamble, or play game shows and I thought pictures should be included with the cruise unless your specifically wanting portraits taken. You could also update TV channels.
The weather was good and sites were awesome, but I don't believe we would choose this cruise again.
It was hard to connect w other people, because the age difference. Even though we are middle aged we felt like we were the "youngest" on ship.
Staff was friendly.

Are you serious, going to Alaska in September when kids are in school and you thought there'd be younger people? Your spa experience was completely opposite mine, I had three of the best, most professional massages ever at that Mandala Spa. Yeah, it wasn't cheap but it was as effective as a chiropractor's appointment. Some immensely strong Filipina masseuse whose name I forgot, but I called her "Doctor Feelgood."
