Review summary

There were several changes made to this cruise but I enjoyed going to Victoria instead of Sitka in the end. I had been to Sitka before and hadn't been to Victoria. I loved having 8 days instead of 7, even though we kind of lost out on most of the extra day.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was hectic but mostly due to an unforeseen change in schedule.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Had a 3 night specialty restaurant deal. Went to Chops twice and Jamie's once. Chops was great and Jamie's not so much. Main dining room was good the days we went and Windjammer was as well.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
This was an Alaska cruise with not the best weather to attempt the outside activities. Also, we had long times in port so spent most of the time doing things we couldn't do anywhere else.

Entertainment

Beautiful dream was good. The Modern Gentlemen were great. Not enough shows in my opinion. Have seen Spectra before.
