It took longer to get a drink than expected. The first two nights in the dinning room seemed difficult.

The ship was extremely clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was very clean. We selected a partial obstructed view. We were able to see more than I expected. The shower was very small. My husband did not fit.

Ship tip

Bring a dramamine patch if you think you need it. They do not sell them or have them in sick bay.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

2 out of 5
The underground tour was a lot of fun and interesting. The town has an extreme homeless problem.

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Not much of a town. The chowder was the best I ever had. We were able to see bear fishing for salmon up close. Highlight of my trip.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Cute town. We rented scooters and it was amazing.

Nice review! The first time I heard someone say that the shower was small I thought, “all ship showers are.” Then we sailed on an older Princess ship... wow they are so small that our elbows hit the walls. I asked one of the big fellows on the ship how he managed!?! He said he did half at a time Glad you enjoyed the cruise otherwise.
