Review summary

We had a great time on the cruise. Our service persons, steward and dinning room servers went beyond our expectations and deserve A-plus grade. The dinning room supervisor could not be nicer or accomodating. She went far beyond all expectation. I was dissapointed with the service at the Windjamer dinning room and I will explain why. The noice from the bouncing basket balls from the youth area above the dinning room was unbarrable. Something needs to be done about this noise. The day before the end of the cruise no lemmonade was available because the staff said that it had run out although it was available in the main dinning room. Labeling of items being served were mis-labeled. Breakfast pancakes, waffles, scrambeled eggs were cold. A better quality of pastries could be ordered. Some were stale and unappitizing.

I would recomend tis cruise and would do it again. The general staff were great.

I think that it would of been great to see the salmon going up stream and the processing of salmon products as we were there when the fish was heading upstream to spawn. I suggest that you have some video to show TV in the cabin about the salmon industry.

Thanks for the review – the right crew members can make all the difference! Interestingly, we only heard the bouncing basketballs once all week. I know the seating area is enormous compared to the small basketball court, so maybe we only sat under it the one time.
