Review summary
The ship overall was nice and clean and the staff helpful. Food was above average for a cruise ship and overall you have a lot of choices for types. The ship did way over charge for Soda ($1.75/can) and Beer ($4.50/bottle of Budweiser). The reason for the very low rating is simple, the one Glacier we did see on the ship was a hanging glacier that that basically looked like a lot of snow on the mountain. Some people didn't even think that it was a Glacier since most of the mountains have show on it and it is hard to differentiate the two. Sawyer Glacier is in Tracey's Arm. This is a narrow area that icebergs usually have a hard time moving thru. This makes it impossible to pass for the larger ships like the Star. You would have much more luck going thru Glacier Bay with another Cruise Line. If you do take this cruise expect to pay for excursions to see the scenery or you will come back very disappointed.Ship experiences
