Review summary

This is the 3rd time I’ve cruised to Alaska, and probably the last.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
The line to get in the building was ridiculously long. With all the seniors waiting in line, something should have been done to make them more comfortable!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The meals in the DaVinci dining room were very good, especially the lobster! I had breakfast at the buffet and it got to be very boring. It was pretty much the same thing every morning. The hash browns were great!

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
I didn’t participate in any.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The few that I went to were ok.

Children's Programs

I didn’t have any children with me.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Andrei, our room steward was wonderful! He was always very helpful and very pleasant! My only regret is that I didn’t get to say goodbye to him personally! Ronie and Ayel were great at dinner! Always accommodating and fun! Andre and Helen, our servers in the Explorer’s lounge were great! They knew what I wanted before I did!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything seemed very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The one complaint I have is the sensory light by the bathroom. It would go on in the middle of the night! Andrei helped us with that. He also kept the room very clean! I can’t praise him enough!

Ship tip

Wear your mask! Out of 10 of us traveling together, 7 came down with COVID!

Very disappointed that the whale watching cruise I was supposed to go on was canceled! The Red Dog Saloon is always fun!

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska

It was early when we were supposedly at the glacier and I missed it! The scenery was beautiful
