Review summary

Great cruise. Small ship. Easy to disembark and embark on ports of call.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
With a little hiccup in trying to find my negative test, everything went well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining staff are very customer oriented as with other cruises. Food and selection was also good. Windjammer buffet never fails. Chops grille as always is a great choice for specialty dining and so is Samba-which is like a Churascarria type of restaurant.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Excellent but did not try any of those.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Parties nightly at the centrum. We only watched the Tango show as recommended by the captain and the cruise director and it was great.

Children's Programs

No children travelling with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff are always attentive to cruisers and provided stellar service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Small ship and easy to navigate. Spic and span including our stateroom.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin is reasonably priced with a typical area size of balcony cabins. The stateroom was well maintained by our cabin steward named Rico that I've asked him to clean it up only once a day after we take our bathroom needs.

Ship tip

Samba specialty restaurant was a great choice. We weren't able to try the Izumi but next time I'll make it sure to try all of them although the food in main dining is more than adequate.

Ports of call

Seward (Anchorage), Alaska Did not visit port

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

5 out of 5
The captain really did a great job getting us close to the Hubbard Glacier almost similar to the small boat cruise that costs $345.00

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
We did a tour.

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5
We did a tour.

Haines, Alaska Did not visit port

too tired after Skagway.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

4 out of 5
Did the Gondola ride and wilderness tour.

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
Our original tour got cancelled because of lack of passengers so we took a tour from downtown on the spot. We were able to see lots of salmon spawning but did not see any wildlife as claimed by the operator.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska Did not visit port

We were mostly asleep.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

4 out of 5
We went to Capilano suspension bridge and the ride to the airport is excellent. The driver was narrating all thru out but because he doesn't have a mic and we were seated towards the back, we could hardly hear his narration.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It is great except we were directed to the wrong line for our airport transfer and cruise.
