Review summary

We (group of 6 ranging from 12-70) had a great time on our Alaskan cruise! From the friendly staff, cozy cabins (plenty of storage), tasty food and drinks, amazing views, and entertainment, we were all very pleased. We spent a lot of time exploring the ship and finding fun spots to enjoy drinks, card games, and each others’ company. Our favorite place to dine was the Summer Palace, although we tried each of the included restaurants (+la Cucina one night). We ended up in the hot tubs multiple times throughout the week. It’s really nice on chilly nights when the deck is quiet! Our shore excursions were loads of fun and totally worth the price. Here’s a list of the ones we did- Juneau- whale watching Skagway- Chilkoot trail hike and float. We also walked over to the Gold-rush Cemetery and took a short(easy) hike up to Lower Reid Falls. Ketchikan- Wilderness Exploration and crab feast Victoria- I do wish we had a little more time in Victoria, but I knew going in that it was going to be brief. We had the perfect amount of time to take a cab to Butchart Gardens- amazing! I was happy to learn about the less expensive souvenir prices in Ketchikan before our trip- it was absolutely true! I do encourage you to find locally owned stores in ports to purchase your take-home treasures. They can be a little trickier to find, but they are marked on the door/ window of the shops. Cruising Glacier Bay was our favorite day of the cruise. It exceeded our expectations and it is an experience we will always cherish. I recommend bringing binoculars especially for this! They do sell them on the ship if you forget. There are many opportunities to spend extra money on the ship, but you can always say no and still have a great time. Cruises are what you make of them. If you choose to go enjoy, relax, and have fun, you will!
