Review summary
The locations are amazing. The cheapest souvenirs were in our last port of call, Ketchikan. I wish we had spent more time in Ketchikan and could have gone without Victoria, BC. The hour or 2 hour excursion to the Mendenhall glacier barely gives you any time to do anything. If you want to see Mendenhall glacier and the falls, book separate from the cruise and spend 2.5 to 3 hours. We had an hour and we sprinted out to the glacier, took a couple photos and then sprinted back just in time to catch the bus back to the boat. Buffet dining area is significantly smaller than other lines, so it filled early and often. Especially early in the season when it's cold outside, people parked at tables and didn't give them up all day especially at Glacier Bay National Park. The staff was all incredibly helpful and friendly though. Service and food are much better than I've had on other cruise lines.Embarkation
