Entertainment

Billboard Onboard was good. The dueling piano's were Brendon and Anderson. They were a good combination but Anderson is off the ship now.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

With the exception of the first night in the dining room, service and staff were outstanding. Noor in the dining room switched our tables the second night and we got 5 star service after that.

We were in 8087 under the buffet. The noise from the carts rolling over head was horrible.

Ship tip

Never ever get a room under the buffet.

Took the city bus to Mendenhall Glacier. It cost $2 and took an hour. Nice, easy walk the last mile.

I thought that because it was a suite there would be some noise insulation. The floor above is tiled and the carts rolling across sounded like trains going by all day and off and on through the night. It was such a huge disappointment.

It’s always a good idea to review the deck plans when choosing your cabin. A location with other cabins above, below and around the cabin will usually be quieter than one above, below or near a public venue, the galley or crew areas.

So glad that even this didn't ruin the whole cruise!
