Review summary

Overall all was great. The most inconvenient is the fact that information about the events on the ship and etc. is only electronically announced and you have to figure it out on the App. No printed schedules are available, which makes it harder to plan, especially for people who are older and have less experience with smart phones and apps. Also, very difficult to communicate with your friends and people in your party if you haven't purchased wi-fi package. Be aware of mobile charges. Check with your mobile provider to see what their policies are for communication on the cruise ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was excellent in most places. The best one was the restaurant that we booked under "my time dining" . The menu items were cooked to perfection. Staff took excellent care of us. Restaurant crew under Tony's supervision was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We tried a lot of activities, including surfing, pools, climbing walls. The best time was spent playing soccer in the gym. Some things we had to forgo due to long lines.

Cabin / Stateroom

accomodations were very small, but it worked for us. Cleanliness was excellent. Requested and promptly received additional bedding. Was hard to find our room for the first time.

Ship tip

everything on this ship was scheduled and annownced over the App on the phone, so it was difficult to orient yourself with the activities and things that are going on. Would be nice if there were printed out schedules for the day.

Thank you for sharing your Alaska experience.

For future reference all you had to do was ask your stateroom attendant for a printed cruise compass to be left in the room every night for the following day. They don’t automatically leave them anymore.
