Review summary

We plan on trying to make an Alaskan cruise an yearly thing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were concerned after seeing many reviews saying that embarkation was horrendous. It took just 27 minutes between getting out of the shuttle and being on board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We eat only in the Windjammer. The food was always excellent. Remember to tip the service people.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The game shows were great. The cruise director does an excellent job.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward did a fantastic job. His name is Alvin. He was always cheerful and funny.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had an inside cabin with a virtual balcony. The virtual balcony has a glitch one time which was addressed quickly.

Ship tip

Be sure to walk or run the track. Best one we've experienced on all the ships we've been on. Soft serve ice cream was so good the lines were always long.
