Review summary

Good cruise. Disappointed because didn’t get to see the Glacier. RC’s cruise title for this cruise is deceiving.

Ship tip

Do not expect to see the Glaciers. A crew member told me that the ship is too big to turn around if it goes into the pass to see the Glacier

Captain said there was too much ice in the water to go to the Glacier so we turned around and started going back. I later found out from a crew member that the ship always turns around where we did because it is too big to go up to see the glacier because it is too big to turn around and come back out.
