Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
We bought the premium drink packages and they had only a few servings of bourbon. Crown Royal wasn't available at all, Makers Mark and Canadian Club were only available a couple of days. One of the reasons I booked this cruise was because of the drink package. Must just be bait to get you on board then there is nothing you can do about it. I had great expectations for Royal Caribbean and was very disappointed. Food was good throughout.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Bingo was fun as well as name that tune which was played in multiple venues on the ship.

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
Loved Ketchikan, went on a crab feast, it was okay. Not a lot of time to eat and the crab was good just not the best I have had.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Skagway was great. Took the White Pass Scenic Railway, I recommend it! The scenery is breathtaking!

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
We cruised through here and it was beautiful!! We saw seals that had just given birth!

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Juneau was beautiful. We went whale watching and they served food on the boat. We did see whales! The food was marginal as there wasn't much left by the time we went through the line.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Masks were still required, and I had been there before.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Being able to take your own luggage is so much faster!!! Needed a little more direction on where we were supposed to go to get off of the ship.
