Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food and service in the main dining room (late seating) was excellent. For drinkers, I highly recommend the premium beverage package. If you only have one speciality coffee, two bottled waters, two drinks and two glasses of wine at dinner, it is worth it!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did not partake in too many of these, but the Disco party was histerical!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
loved the orchestry and dancers/singers at the shows but the outside comedians were a bit lame.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
they catered to our every need!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes, it is an older ship and does need another overhaul but everything was clean. Public restrooms were always being cleaned by maitenance.

Cabin / Stateroom

a higlight of the trip. Whale watch, city tour in trolly, ride up the mountain and mendenhall glacier. Definitely take the trek to the waterfall, it is highly worth it!
