Room size was fine. Our room steward cleaned it thoroughly! Bathroom needs to refurbished as well as some of the furnishings. There should be better lighting in the corner closet.
Ship tip
The staff on this ship were very friendly. Perfect size ship for this itinerary.
Juneau was excellent. Weather was fantastic. We took the Mt. Roberts Tram and hiked around up top. I am scared of heights but the tram was great! We went to Mendenhall Glacier by local shuttle bus. Well worth the trip! The walk to the glacier and Nugget Falls is very easy. We walked around Juneau where we had lunch,
This port was actually much bigger than you first expect when getting off the ship. We did not do any excursions. Just walked around the town and looked at all the history this town has to offer as well as a lot of shopping!
At Icy Strait Point, we did a Whale Watching and Seafood Feast Excursion. We saw many whales and the Seafood Feast was absolutely the best meal we had the entire trip! Food was plentiful! There are a few shops here but they have many great buys!
We had a great time here. We took a Trolley Tour which brought us to a free Salmon Hatchery and took us out of town to see if we could see some bears, unfortunately no luck! We also stopped at a waterfall. Back in town we walked along Creek Street, did some shopping and drinks in town.
Post cruise we spent two extra days in Vancouver. We travelled all around the city on the Hop On/Hop Off bus. This is definitely a city we would visit again!
We opted to have the ship take our luggage off which delayed our disembarkation, however once off the ship it was easy to find our luggage and went very quickly and
