Drinks Awesome. Buffet style lunch was great. Sit down dinner, the food was average.

Onboard Activities

I found that there were not as many activities like on other cruises taken. Lots of activity at the spa (which I did not attend)

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was great! We loved it. Stbd side balcony 8 deck on the way north to AK was the best cabin to be, and very private

Ship tip

If you don't have kids, cruise during school in session. It was more adult than family cruise if you know what I mean.

Tracy's King Crab Legs were the best! Effy store, don't recommend. They did a switch and bait on me. Ended paying $100 more than the price I was told first.

it was foggy and rainy, otherwise it was great. No need to take stars away just because of the weather.

Seward (Anchorage), Alaska

3 out of 5

Can't comment on it, as the bus to Anchorage left immediately after disembark, so I could not tell you. Wishing we had a few hours there before the bus trip.
