This was a trip of a lifetime for my husband. This is not like other cruises, such as a party cruise but it was enjoyable and everyone was so nice and pleasant.

Embarkation

They gave direction to pick a time to be there and I don't know why. It took us over two hours to checkin and we had t o guess what we were doing. Where was the key? What restaurant we were eating at for dinner.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Chop Grill and Wonderland were wonderful. I thought dinner at Jaime's Italian was boring. Nothing special at all. I thought my truffle pasta tasted like glue and the red gravy had no seasoning.

I can only rate it ok because we had a medical emergency on the ship and we were in Juneau for three hours. We were not able to do our excursions. This was the port we were really looking forward too. But the fish taco we had at the food truck were the best we ever had.

A beautiful city. We enjoyed breakfast at Murchin's. Delicious pastries and our bike excursion was very good. Our host did a wonderful job on the information about Victoria and the history.

Enjoyable but could have been better

Amazing ship, Alaska hit and miss

Fun family cruise but saw no glaciers. The ship was fun but needs more crew for better service.
