Never met a rude staff members. They always tried to meet/exceed expectations.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Everything clean but have a suggestion for designers. Take out the lampshades in 2-70 that impede vision of the stage. It was quite irritating.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great cabin, storage was well laid out.

Ship tip

Wear good walking shoes, you do have to walk from one end to the other.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5

Not really a port. Ship came into arm and turned around. Unfortunately haze from Canadian fires prevented good glacier sightings.

Disembarkation

Easy off, but ride share options required a long walk. Ended up taking a cab which was ok.
