Review summary

Felt that we should have been informed we wouldn't cruise by the glaciers. I had experienced that many many years ago on an Alaska cruise and it is shown in all the advertising. Was disappointing to us.

Are you talking about not going to Glacier Bay? Many Alaska cruises go to either Glacier Bay or Tracy Arm but not both. Tracy Arm is typically cheaper but still great and has a glacier. Nobody needs to inform where you won't be going, it is posted in the itenerary before you buy.
