Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

So enjoyed the Pinacle restaurant, the others were hit and miss. I am not a buffet person, but it was nice to be able to get cheese, fruit and bread mid afternoon

Entertainment

3 out of 5

comedians and small shows were good, the others were stale and boring. Last night of entertainment Liars Club was a HOOT and the dance numbers were good.

Landing and walking on a Glacier was unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The salmon bake on board was ten times better than the one on shore. It was a tourist trap and food was awful
