Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Buffet is small and doesn't have any of the dining room entrees. Dining rooms and food were good. Moderno was VERY Salty.

Big push for Deal or No Deal and Bingo...the money makers

Entertainment

Shows were not top tier, but enjoyable. A lot of events needed to be moved for more space.

Staff was all very nice.

Ship Quality

Ship was clean, but since it is an older ship, space is smaller.

The glaciers have receded so much, they need to replace this day.
Thumbs Up

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

3 out of 5
Nice, being developed like a private island in the Caribbean.
Thumbs Up

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

3 out of 5
Liked Ketchikan, but the shuttling 20+ minutes each way was inconvenient and since we were only in port 630 am - 1200pm, options for tours and other activities was insufficient
Thumbs Up

Victoria, British Columbia

Ship problems, that were not fully disclosed to passengers resulted in this port being cancelled. We weren't told until the afternoon and we're kind of held hostage on the ship with everything closing time onboard. Andrew since we were in territorial waters, taxes were being charged as required.
