Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All waiters were the best. So helpful, cleaning up dirty dishes, tables asking if one needed any drinks or anything. Noticed the crew that were no doubt over the waiters and a particular food area were out helping including cleaning. This is amazing. The wash station with the personnel getting everyone to wash their hands, even providing music and singing. Our stateroom steward and staff were the best. Wish I could remember his name, I lost his card. His name was Bartelle or something like that.

Ship Quality

Design was beautiful and the ship was well maintained and all areas were always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was the best. Spacious, always clean. The balcony was the best. The sign on the door saying we were out or sleeping is a great idea. We were in cabin 9 702

Ship tip

Seems like the ship is geared to older and younger folks, not the middle aged. So give thought as to what you want to do when on the ship. Check about food and drink availability when in port.

Whale watching was awesome. Such a knowledgeable staff. The salmon bbq was delicious and walking up to see the mining area and waterfall was beautiful.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
The tour was the best. Our tour guide was amazing. Learned so much. She named an unnamed glacier Bertha. She will be remembered. Lunch at the brewery was delicious.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
Just a cruise into the glacier. So many chunks of ice. The scenery was gorgeous. At the glacier we were given a 360 tour so everyone could see the beautiful scenery and take pictures.

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5
Went to Butchart Gardens on our own. Spent several hours there. Too busy in the city for us. But we saw what we intended to see.

Disembarkation
