It would have been great if Skagway was not canceled and 2 glacier ports were scheduled. The late schedule adjustment really detracted from the port/excursion experience. The experience on the ship was great - always something to do whether it was laser tag, bumper cars, trivia, sport competitions, shows, or just drinking. Be careful of Covid protocols - we were deemed close contacts and needed to test every day (mandatory, no way around it) - they also tell you to stay in your room to eat/drink and wear a mask at all times - they do not enforce/check this.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very quick - 30 minutes to get through terminal
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Windjammer buffet: long lines for omelettes, bacon never crispy… it’s what you’d expect from buffet food
Dining: choose a time, not my time… food was good, lot of different options every night
Onboard Activities

Entertainment
4 out of 5
Headliner shows did not live up to their hype. However, there was always something to do - some activities either sold out quickly (roller skating) or had very long lines (laser tag, bumper cars) - I would suggest lining up earlier for those
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Schooner Bar bartenders were fantastic
Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Sounded like a creeking noise almost every night due to ship’s movement - very difficult to sleep.
Ship tip
Book excursions beforehand, line up early for uncommon actives, go to Schooner Bar for great service, don’t tell medical your friends are close contacts if you get COVID
Did the classic style (leave bags outside of room) - had no issues and got off fairly quickly. I know those who did self assist were able to get off with bags by 7:15 for those in a rush.
