Great experience. If you’re looking low key and relaxing, this is your cruise. Not a lot of bells and whistles as you have on bigger ships, but it has everything adults need.

The whale watching excursion was amazing. The number of whales you could see from the ship was also great. The port itself has little to offer. If you don’t do an excursion, I would recommend staying on the ship and watching the whales, seals and otters.

Definitely a tourist trap port. I wish we had planned an excursion for this stop.

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

Beautiful. We were able to get really close to the glacier on the ship. The crew did a great job and plenty of ensuring everyone got a beautiful view.

Disembarkation

Disembarking was smooth. The luggage areas were poorly marked so it took a couple of minutes to figure out.
