Review summary

Overall very nice.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Good food, it was flavorful and the salmon was moist. For first time cruisers remember the dining room is NOT just for dinner. We made this mistake.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

There was always something to do. There was always space (not overcrowded) to participate in any of the activities.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Very nice people.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Staterooms were very clean. Some of the public spaces were starting to show wear - nothing bad though

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Very clean, non-smoking room yet the couch had a cig burn in it which made me question why the cushion wasn't at least turned.

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska

3 out of 5

Best was the pilot choice, I would have liked to see the vistors center at the glaicer

Skagway, Alaska

The cruise ships own this port (the locals called it the Tijuana of Alaska because to this - I agree!)

Don't Miss: Nothing

Pros: The views - the landscape is wonderful

Cons: The fact that the cruise ships own absolutely everything
