Service and Staff

Dining Room Table # 577 - Fanderson and Salvio superior in taking care of the 8 of us at this table. Hope we can get them again on future sails or people with the dedication to serving you as the two of them did.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

Stateroom was great and balcony was on Port side so we had great views of the land as the ship was heading south. Our stateroom attendant Sajan Ralkar also was excellent in taking care of our every need.

Ship tip

On the last nite of the sail, we decided to do 'Chops' instead of My Time Dining (which was also excellent), but the meal at Chops really capped of the trip.

would like to have had more time there, nice town. We had 2 tours to get done so was rushed at the end to get some shopping done and little time to see the local sites.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

Relaxing day allowing everyone to pack up, yet rest us for the day, before disembarking the next day.
