Review summary

I booked a last minute vacation for my mother and I. There was plenty to do on board and each stop had shore excurisions suited towards our various tastes and physial abilities. We sailed past two glaciers, so the balcony was well worth the extra expnse for great viewing of glaciers and wildlife.

Queen size bed with great matteress, but tit cannot be split into two twins. I was traveling with my mother and we had to share the bed. There was a pull out sofa, but bed was much more comfortable.

Ship tip

Most restraunts are at the aft of the boat. Our prenthouse was forward, so alot of walking for meals. Suggest booking ner the middle of the ship to bea nea all activities and ameneties. Cagney's steak house wel worth the dinner upgrade.
