Review summary

The cruise itself was wonderful.  The staff was friendly and tried hard to please.  The dining room and room service meals were very good, as well as the pizza/ice cream bar and the international café.  The buffet was only fair.  I tried it 4 times and then went elsewhere where the food was much better.  The ports were great, though I would have liked more time in Juneau and Victoria.

Ship tip

Take your meals in a main dining room or at the pool. The buffet was better at breakfast, but not very good for other meals.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

I agree, I would have liked more time in Skagway and Victoria. Buffet food was fine but it was a small congested area.

Miladear... There were so many healthy food options. Many talk about how much weight they gain on a cruise and I can honestly say I did not gain any. Make sure to tell your wait staff if you have any allergies and they will point out anything you should not eat.

Hi Susie and Katie, thanks for posting regarding the food. I will know what to expect. My first time to take cruise. Will be on oct. 15 to 22. Getting excited.

The buffet was much better than "fair". Always had a lot of fresh fruit and lovely salad bar.
