Review summary

This cruise met and exceeded our particular need, a good way to get introduced to the Last Frontier state: its history, its culture and its people. The ports of call and the various attractions available in each of them lay a solid foundation for those who are interested in more than just the sights and the shopping (though, believe me, there's plenty of that alone to fill your days!) We lucked out and had predominantly warm and sunny weather. Most of our excursions were self-guided tours, but between our own research ahead of time, the daily Cruise Compass, and Google Maps, we had plenty to see, do and experience. The White Pass bus tour in Skagway and the bus transfer to Anchorage (both booked separately) provided additional historic narrative. The cruise itself was exactly what we'd expected from RCCL and from a Radiance-class ship: great food variety in Windjammer, comfortable accommodations, plenty of entertainment for days at sea, and a fantastic crew. Seriously, the crew on RCCL are second to none. Every. Single. One of them. Shout out to Daniella from Ayr :)
