Review summary

We loved our cruise to Alaska experience. We loved the convenience of the buffet, the option of the dining rooms, the art seminars and art auctions, the trivia activity, the fitness room and spa along with the board game room and library as well as the open areas just to sit and relax. Loved the train ride to White Pass and other shore excursions. Plus all the excellent service on board. Well done.

Ship Quality

We were impressed with how clean all areas were.

Cabin / Stateroom

We were pleased with the cabin service. Of course, the bathrooms were adequate but definitely on the small size. Appreciated the storage space so we could unload our suitcases and put things away for the week.

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska Did not visit port

We did a city tour and trip out to Mendanhall. Thankfully the weather was good.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Pretty overcast but still impressive.

Ketchikan, Alaska Did not visit port

Darn. Rain rain rain. But did manage to go shopping. Souvenir shops were great!

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Would get bus uptown as ship excursion was too expensive - $100 plus when cost of getting into gardens is around $30
