This cruise failed to meet expectations so we just made the best of it. I don’t think I will cruise on this ship again until they get their engine troubles fixed. It was disappointing to not see the glaciers and to only have a short time in ports.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
The cruise terminal is hard to navigate. I was traveling with a passenger with a disability (she doesn’t need a walker or a wheelchair) and when we went to go use the handicap line one of the port staff rolled his eyes like he thought she was lying about being disabled.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was mostly delicious. I didn’t go hungry.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
A lot of the activities were crowded and they were only offered a couple of times during the cruise
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The ships productions were great, however the comedian and extra musicians they brought on were lackluster.
Children's Programs
Didn’t bring any kids onboard
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All the ships staff was friendly and seemed like they really enjoyed their job.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
For the most part the ship was in good condition.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin exceeded our expectations. We didn’t know what we were getting into with an obstructed view balcony and the view turned out to be great.
Loved the town, locals were nice and most of the shops were open when the ship arrived. Just wish we had more time in port (we were there for 8 hours) our shore excursion ended up running later than expected.
We didn’t do an excursion, all but a few shops were closed when we arrived and they were just about to open when we were getting ready to leave. (We had 7 hours in port)
Booked a shore excursion through the cruise line. Felt like we didn’t get enough time here. Most shops were closed when we arrived, a couple of the shops that were open the owners were complaining that our ship was there. (6.5 hours in port)
A few shops were open but mostly everything was closed. Gangway went down at 5:45 and we had to be back to the ship at 9:30 plus we had to take a shuttle to town which takes about 30 minutes round trip, so we really didn’t get to do much.
I feel like if they ship had smaller group numbers that they called things would be at a constant flow versus everyone waiting in a long line to get off the ship and collect their things and then stand in another line to go through customs.
Thanks for review. You said it didn’t meet expectations , but you gave it good reviews. Is is missing Dawes / glacier. We are scheduled in September after Not being able to go on our Celebrity cruise in June as I ended up in hospital ( on the way). I switched to Royal as tCelebrity went up and price snd my husband wanted more activities. Now I’m wondering..
