Review summary

This is my first time cruising, so I have no other cruises to compare with. In general, the appearance of public areas is pleasant and clean. The food in the complimentary restaurants is tasty and varies daily to keep the palate stimulated. The activities on board of the ship can keep someone busy most of time. I enjoyed the evening entertainment, except for one where the comedian mostly made fun of the professions of the people he chose to bring on the stage from the audience. That was distasteful. As for the cruise destinations, I especially appreciate the time spent at Glacier bay and the fact that the ship spins slowly 360 degree at the glacier so all passengers have a chance to see it up close.

I don't appreciate the show where the comedian brought a lot of audience participants on the stage and made fun of their professions.

Grediva at the Indigo restaurant. She was attentive and always smiling. Jacob (the shopping consultant) did a good job in presenting the special goods at the different ports.

Cabin / Stateroom

It is sufficient size for sleeping, yet not too comfortable to stay in for long. It is just right for us because we love to explore the ship and enjoy the ocean.
