Review summary

Overall it was very fun cruise. We honestly packed too much figure it was going to brrrr cold up there but the temp was almost near the same as back in Seattle, WA. While crusing, we had a lots of fun, entertainment was outstanding every night. Free cocktails were super enjoyable; everyone on board was super nice and friendly. It was a memorable cruise. We also spent lot of money on arts. Heck! you live only once.

Whale Watching excursion: staff were nice but we only saw humpback whale swimming from a far distance. Very similar to Puget Sound, Seattle, WA

Cruise Glacier Bay

4 out of 5
Cruise got very close to it. NP rangers were onboard. very informative. dense fog was around so didn't get to see the Glacier bay that clearly.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
Gondola ride was super fun. Took a guided trail walk. Went to Hoonah cannery. It was fun. Not that many cruisers did explorer this island.

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

4 out of 5
Trolley bus tour of the city. Learned a lot about natives building totem poles.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Only 3 hour window to do anything so it was way too short. From the cruise dock to Victoria was a bus ride and many cruisers didn't think they had an ample time to do anything in Victoria, BC.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
A little bit chaotic but , thank god we had our luggages tagged correctly with right color. So we founf our luggages and after that, it was easy disembark from pier 66 back home in a limousine ride.
