Review summary

This was my favorite vacation of all time!!! It was a once in a lifetime experience with my family and I'm so overwhelmed by how beautiful the world is. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, these memories will last a lifetime!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good. I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. I liked how the dinner menus had a side that changed and a side that didn't. The dessert was good but could be better. I wished the apple pie was warm and the cheesecake was more cheesy, for example. But the soft serve ice cream bar is fantastic. And so is afternoon tea!!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I went to the fitness center, did yoga and Zumba, got a facial, went to afternoon tea (amazing), did the putting challenge. Everything was very fun and there was always something to do!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The magician was not that funny, but the comedian was hilarious (except it was packed in the explorers lounge and we couldn't find a seat), absolutely LOVED the Yes/No game show, that was one of my favorite parts. The karaoke was really bad but could be improved, the music nights were awesome.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
There were always people available if you needed anything

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was awesome and so easy to get around. The only difficultly was trying to get to the boticelli dining room because you had to go up to floor 7 and then go down

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was fantastic and the beds are really comfy

Another satisfied customer! Alaska is a great choice as a jumping off point for exploring the world . . . u'll travel thousands of miles before you find a place to top it . . . "If" you ever do.

Alaska truly is a special destination. Being an all time favorite, and cruise of a lifetime, I probably would have rated the cruise 5-stars, but that is just me. Glad you enjoyed your time on the Ruby in Alaska.
