We went to relax and that's exactly what we did. Will use the pool and the hot tub's and even got a massage services very very good.

We wouldn't seem to the comedy shows with your very funny, we are seeing the people that work there is a Filipino show, which we also thought was very entertaining and they did a very very good job

Service and Staff

These employees were on it, if you wanted or needed anything they were there, always smiling and very friendly, they are the ones that made the cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was our first cruise and we thought it was a wonderful ship, it was cleaned and there is always people cleaning since like they really care about their jobs and about the ship and the people they were helping

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was actually bigger than we thought it was going to be, I had everything we needed. The staff was very good they kept that place spotless, we were very impressed

Ship tip

Do it, if you need something ask, if you going with a good attitude and stay positive you'll have an excellent time there and the staff all of them will treat you like you own that ship , At least that's how we felt

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5
This was your favorite Port, we liked walking through the trails along with me and also see in the totems walking to the park, we had a lot of fun here

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
We liked it, lots of things to see, the river running through town with the salmon in it and also the history of the town lots of art, good times

Victoria, British Columbia

3 out of 5
This is probably our least favorite Port, we did a little bit of walking that didn't sound like there is a whole lot of things to do, also didn't get there till six at night a little late to be out running around but all in all it was OK

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This one exactly the way they told us he was going to be, we had our color-coded number and when it was our turn we walked right out, quick and easy. The main thing is listen and follow their instructions

In a strange way, you probably ended your first cruise the way many folks wish they ended theirs. Wanting more! Congrats to you for totally enjoying the experience.
