Review summary

Great trip, just what a bucket list trip should be.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Took the train from Anchorage to Seward. Thought getting on board would be good after being able to check in and get our seapass prior to boarding the train. When we arrived in Seward, we had a long line to get our boarding pictures taken. Would have been nice to get that all taken care of in Anchorage.

Food was good all around. The highlight and must do is the Chef's table. Don't pass this up.
