Review summary

The cruise was fine. Had bad weather and some stormy seas, but through no ones fault. Couldn't go to Tracy Arm Fjord due to ice conditions, once again no ones fault. Saw some beautiful scenery. One thing that could use some improvement was the buffet in the Horizon Court. Very limited variety each night and very little change from night to night. Had a noodle bar almost every night. Hoped for a pasta bar or a Mexican bar or an Italian bar for a change. The meats provided each night were adequate, but the seemed to be only a couple of side dishes each night. Mashed potatoes were very good. Lack of variety in the buffet made it hard to go more than a couple of times during the week. Enjoyed the pizza and the hamburger and hot dog bar (although the first couple of days it was almost too cold to order and wait for it.

Going July 10th as well. I went 4 years ago on the same week. I recommend a light jacket and some sweatshirts just in case, especially for evening time if outside on the ship.

Did you ever eat at the dinning room for sit down meal? And going July 10th should I bring a warm jacket?
