Review summary
Tim Kaminski, the Comedian, was hilarious! We attended as many shows as possible because he was very funny and enjoyable! In Juneau, we took the Mendenhall Glacier tour and was just dropped off the Glacier. We were able to see a female bear and her three cubs walking nearby where we were standing by the Glacier. We then took a tram, run by the Tlingit Indians, to the top of the mountain.
The two Skagway tours, Yukon Scenic and Street car were enjoyable. The tour guides were knowledgeable and entertaining.
The Lotus Garden food was scrumptious and the service was outstanding! The Summer Palace. Indigo, and O'Sheehan's offered little in selection choices. The food was not good in the three restaurants listed above. Menu didn't change much from day to day. On complimentry dining, additional charges should not be on menu. Garden Cafe and the Great Outdoors food was just fine. Not impressed with Beverage set up in Garden Cafe, was awkward. Have food trays for those who need them. Stateroom was great and our stateroom steward, Parman, was professional, courteous, and genuinely caring to ensure we were enjoying our cruise and alerting us to points of interests like whale watching from our balcony.
