Ship experiences

Food and Dining

MDR was poor. Specialty restaurants were okay. Buffets were much better. Turkey breast for CND Thanksgive in the MDR, Real turkey in the buffets. Does not make sense.

We were able to get chairs at any time at the pool.

No problems at all. Layout good. Clean. Very well attended to.

Ship tip

Food in MDR was poor at best. Most dishes were cover with gravy or a sauce. Steaks overcooked and had to be sent back.

We spent the night and enjoyed our walk. No tours planned.

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

4 out of 5
Too bad the rain was excessive. No tours planned.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
No tours planned as we had been there several times. Recommend Tracy's Crab Shack for excellent good.

Skagway, Alaska Did not visit port

We did not get off due to the excessive rain. Those that got off had to wait in line for 40 minutes to get back on the ship due to only one exit/entrance ramp.

We took a tour through you to the Road to Hana. Excellent.
