Review summary

Overall an impressive ship. In particular I liked the consistent top quality service and friendliness of the staff. It was very clean. Biggest problem was there was a sales pitch arouind every corner. I sat in on a "body detoxification" presentation and heard some real quackery as they tried to sell seaweed treatments to unsuspecting retirees.

Ports of call

Ketchikan, Alaska

Not impressive. Mostly lots of airplane noise. We were bamboozled into taking a kyak trip to what was called "Orca's Cove". What a hoax. This was nothing more than a cove with some starfish.

Juneau, Alaska

We took that train and got off at the Denver glacier trailhead and went on a 3 hour hike. Out of the 6,000 touristist there that day, only our group of 4 and one other guided group of 4 did this.

Pros: Glaciers and the water

Cons: Too much selling on the ship. Nickel and dimed us for soft drinks.

Recommends Norwegian Sun? Yes!
