Size was perfect. Clean all of the time. Our cabin person did an excellent job.

Ship tip

There’s a lot of food to eat. Pick and choose wisely. A lot of it has no taste. Don’t just eat because the food is there.

We like Seattle. Used to live in Tacoma, WA, so this was like a trip home. No excursions.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

Wish we could have gotten closer to the glacier but understandable why we could not. No excursions.

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5

Time here was too short. Could not understand why we could not stay longer. It only takes 4 hours to go by car to Seattle from Victoria and it took us all night by ship. We could have spent more time in Victoria. Did whale watching excursion. Had a great time for such a quick trip.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Process ran smoothly. The problem was transportation once we got off the ship. Taxi service was horrible. We waited for an hour for a taxi and they way they were being triaged was incredibly incompetent. Please, find another way to handle taxi service.

I’ve only cruised with Carnival and only in the Caribbean so far. No complaints really, except the food is just mediocre. So, I’ve been looking at the Ovation to Alaska. The ship looks beautiful, but are you saying the food isn’t that great? I’m no foodie, but it would be nice to eat really good food.
