Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the food was not great, but it was good and it was abundant. The quality definately went down as the days passed. The first breakfast we had REAL orange juice, the rest of the trip it was an orange powder mix, NOT GOOD!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We just loved the entertainment, we do not gamble or drink, but there was plenty to do other than visit bars or casinos.

Ports of call

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Nothing here, walking tour was boring and shops close early, so if you do whale or eagle watching trips, you miss the shops, but not a great loss. Do not reccomend this stop.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5

Juneau does not have a lot to offer other than history, we went to the gold rush cemetery and had to walk about 1/2 mile, but enjoyed just being outdoors in the beautiful scenery. The Klondike visit was a waste of time unless you paid to pan for gold, which we did not do.
