Review summary

Beautiful scenery, take advantage of excursions, upgrade your food options to non-buffet areas, take advantage of boat entertainment, get rest.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Somewhat long lines at Embarkation as there were 3 ships leaving out of Canada Place that day.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Speciality and dining room was good, buffet needs some work.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Given cold weather in Alaska, outside activities are limited. Outdoor theater/Movie screen would of been better to have in the inside pool area.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedians were funny, shows all good

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Our steward was terrific, waiters in restaurants were good, some of the bartenders need lesson in pleasantry though.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Appearance was great. Half the ship had some type of URI going on, so not sure how that speaks to overall cleanliness.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Perfect size, great location

Ship tip

In code weather, learn best routes from bow to aft without going outside.
