Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

lots of variety. Food looked and tasted great every time. Most of the service was excellent. Hard to get reservations to some because of not being open for lunch. The buffet could use more variety. Service in the Blue lagoon was not all that great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We didn't do many of the options because we spent a lot of time sleeping, but the shows we saw were very good.

Service and Staff

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska

Whale watching was over the top great. Our bus driver gave a lot of interesting facts on the way to the boat and really enhanced the trip. Wish we could have stayed longer so we could do more than one excursion.
