Review summary

This was a glacier cruise but we did not get to see the glacier. Captain decided to skip due to weather but did not care to inform the guests who got up at 5.30 am to see the glacier and were waiting for 2 hrs before the crew told us we were already in Juneau and the captain had decided to skip Endicott!!

Communication problem between and Royal Caribbean delayed embarkation. 2 of our party who had booked a balcony were not on the list at all and one was missing from another room!
