Review summary

An awe inspiring experience with scenic unique views of Alaska.  The great part of the cruise is visiting ports that take you back to a times of the gold rush and the new frontier.  The best part of the trip was visiting glacier bay national park and getting an up close glimpse of the impacts of the ice age, global warming, and the power and strength of mother nature.  The only critique I can make on the cruise is that even with the renovation, the ship still looked a little dated, but the friendliness of the staff definitely overcompensated for that issue.  A great experience overall.

How was her "dated" look apparent? Did they still have that blue Chihuly glass sculpture in the lobby?  Although I've only been aboard the Pearl around the Bahamas, Caribbean and Panama Canal, I've grown accustomed to her. Curious about her latest drydock, what's new and different. Check out my experiences with on my most recent solo cruise aboard her and see how they compare with yours--especially the food.
