Review summary

We would highly recommend this cruise for all age groups. There was something on board for everyone to participate in and the dining, entertainment, activities, and excursions were excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Embarkation

RCCL should have better prepared guests to have all necessary documents ready before we left our bus to speed up boarding.

Our room was kept clean and organized by our room steward and waiters were very attentive during dining. Guest service personnel were very helpful with general questions like ArriveCan, Covid testing on board with the internet, for example.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The whole ship was kept clean, and the layout of each deck was well documented on each level.

Cabin / Stateroom

We had an inside cabin that was clean and large enough for restful sleep. Our cabin was close to dining, bars, Centrium, Guest Services, shopping, and the theater which was ideal.

Ports of call

Seward (Anchorage), Alaska

4 out of 5
Good rating since we had taken a bus from Anchorage and boarded the ship immediately. Did not visit any places in the town of Seward.

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

4 out of 5
Great scenery of the Hubbard Glacier and area.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
We had great weather day which made our excursion around town, salmon hatchery, and the Mendenhall Glacier wonderful.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
We took a bus excursion to the Yukon and White Pass Summit which was scenic and included wildlife viewing.

Haines, Alaska

4 out of 5
Limited amount of time in port so we explored the town and Fort Stewart by ourselves. Enjoyed the local shops.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

4 out of 5
Limited amount of time in port so we explored the local shops, salmon cannery museum, and took the Transporter to the top of the mountain for scenic views.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
We did the Saxman Native Village and Lumberjack show which was very interesting and fun. Enjoyed walking the historic area of Ketchikan and sampled local salmon on a tour of the town.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

4 out of 5
It was a relaxing day at sea with great scenic views of the coast.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
We did an excursion that took us to Stanley Park, Morton Park, English Bay, Chinatown, downtown, and then to the Vancouver airport. It was a great tour covering a large area of town.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were in the first group off the ship due to our Vancouver excursion to the airport. Disembarkation was very smooth except for a locating one our bags that was place with another group.
