Review summary

Location location and location is the theme of a cruise like this.The boat is another story.This boat needs to go in dry dock for a major overhaul and updating of things to do on ship.The Wifi is a joke less than 1mbps per speed test.Thats when you stay on and not disconnected.The workers on this boat are great and try to make the best trip possible.The main dining hall food is great the windjammer is the same food for 7 days.The ports of call are great with the exception of Icy Strait Point not much to do besides the zip line.The other ports have great excursions and plenty of shopping for the usual tourists type.I was told the Northbound cruise was the best because they take supplies on only once in Vancouver for both north and South and run out of supplies going South(never been southbound just told by crew member once on cruise).Once and lifetime cruise.

There is whale watching in Icy Strait Point. We love the size of Radiance class ships. We have never had a problem keeping busy on this class of ships. We don't cruise to shop, and don't do flowriders, ice skating, rock walls and so on. I am so upset the cruise lines keep building the humongous ships. Would love some new Radiance class ships!
