Ship Quality
Paid for a Veranda balcony but got very little use of it because of a very foul odor. Contacted Guest services 3 times and told pour room steward and they could not fix it.Smelled like either sewer gas or something dead in the lifeboat. When the wind was blowing into the starboard side it was not as bad but could not stay out there at the Hubbard Glacier because of the smell. Only complaint with this cruise though. Would do it again but not on deck 5.
Cabin / Stateroom
See comments about balcony previously entered. Cabin stewards were fantastic. Inside the room was great.
Ship tip
If you plan to eat at the Lido Market, either go early or late; tables are sometimes hard to find during main time dining. Food is good.

Ports of call
Not enough time there. We caught the shuttle ($16 each) to go into town. By the time we were seated and ate at Finn’s there was barely time to get an ice cream and catch the shuttle back to the ship.
