Review summary
The trip (views of mountains, whale sightings, seal, sea otters, bears) breath taking. The ship itself is very antiquated. No outlets, including phone chargers by bed. Only 2 outlets on dresser. The bunk (Pullman) beds need to be clearly advertised on website. Had to change rooms as there was no way either of roommates could climb up onto bed. The food was very mediocre and bland. Also charges for room service. Room service used to be a courtesy, we would just tip the deliverer. Food (scaled-down buffet) used to also be available late hours (like 1-2 a.m.) but no longer. I’m thinking everything is scaled down and costs added to make up for lost revenue during the COVID years.Embarkation

Ship tip
Bring binoculars (with video recording if possible) so you can see onshore when on boat. Bring extra outlet cords and make sure they are extra long as there are no charging ports by bed and only 2 plugs on dresser. Also, make sure you know if you are getting a bunk (Pullman) bed.
