Good dining room service. Buffet a little awkard as it isn't a straight line so corners tie up traffic flow.. would like to have had themed meals being in Alaska

Seems like a great time! Sorry Mother Nature didn't cooperate for you, that has happened to us before & I know it can be disappointing.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. I’m sure the cruise lines wish they could control the weather, sorry for the fog. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise.
