Lots of specialty options and great food. The ice cream was kinda low quality, but that's our worst complaint.

We only had a porthole room, but it was fun. Will definitely get a balcony next time. Pillows were not comfortable but mattress was good. Our personal coffee, cream and sugar did not get replenished enough.

Ports of call

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5

Small town, but the railway is AMAZING! Best scenery by far. There is a reason one of the cruise lines sends all their passengers on this.
