First time cruiser but I have to say it will be tough to top this, unless next time I go for 14 days instead of 7

The staff was amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Common area renovations are done very well but the cabin renovations could use a little more. Cabinets did not work properly.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Very spacious and great view! Dresser drawers did not function properly.

Ship tip

Book the excursion at Tracy Arm because it’ll probably be too foggy to see from the ship, especially the closer to September.

Skagway, Alaska

White Pass Railroad Excursion is amazing, and if you can ride in the luxury car, it’s the rearmost car and the view and photo opportunities are amazing!!!!

Seattle, Washington

3 out of 5

Try to get in two days before departure, that way you get a full day to explore Seattle before having to leave.

Juneau, Alaska

Take the helicopter up to the glacier, totally worth it!!
