The cruise inside the inner passage of Alaska was amazing. The cruise ship itself was getting ready to go into dry dock after our cruise to do some updates and renovations so it should be a lot nicer for future cruises.

She was getting a bit worn to this ex-sailor’s eyes (April 2018). Hope they get her spiffyed up for our Hawaii trip in March....

Thank you for your information. I’m hoping that the ship will be in good shape by the time I cruise November 10

Actually it's not going into drydock until the end of the month. Two more cruises out of Seattle (3 counting it's current one), and two out of Cali.

EXCELLENT

On a scale of 1-10 - a 6. Our first cruise, and though we did see Alaska, we won't do it again.
