Review summary

Will do a cruise again. Everyone needs to see Alaska, cruise is the best way. The ship could use more everyday items, brushes, combs, etc. The food ex excellent, make sure to try everything you can. Recommend late night setting for dinner.

Great-Horizon Grille, Always a good selection and hot. International Café perfect, always a smile on their faces, ready to help, great options. Dinner in the evening, Perfect, Hugo was great. Never wanted for anything, always a smile. Our dinning experience could not have gone better.

The later seating will give you plenty of time for excursions and not feel rushed. The ships store does not carry a lot of things you may have forgotten. But you will have a great steward that will help.

Maybe they meant in the ship store for those items.

I was wondering the same

carajoemom    7 years ago

Why do you recommend the later seating?

ashmarie8989    7 years ago

maybe they arnt from America....providing brushes and combs is definitely not something provided in america in hotels/cruises lol.

Brushes and combs? That's your complaint? I'll take that as a non issue.
