Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty restaurants great, but only 2 compared to previously 3. Buffets not gear, and lots of lines.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Fewer activities than on past cruises, and more time at sea.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Main stage shows amazing.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Cabin stewards barely made the beds, only occasionally vacuumed, and only actually cleaned the bathroom when asked to do so. Awful old soap in shower when we arrived, toilet and bathroom smelled like a portapotty by end of cruise. All other staff great.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Old, tired, not always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Very hard to walk around beds to get to bathroom, cleanliness, barely okay--see bathroom comments above.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

4 out of 5
Not much to do if no excursion booked, in port for a long time even if something is booked. Here excursions very expensive.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Whites Pass rail trip is amazing.

Thanks for sharing. Is the difference in number of restaurants based on the same ship of just other cruises in general?

Thanks for your review. Sounds like housekeeping is not as good like it used to be when we sailed the Sun.
