I would take the same cruise on the same ship again! HAL did not disappoint! Don't go on a larger ship because you won't be able to get into Glacier Bay! Can't wait to go on our next HAL cruise! Bermuda again? Canada/New England?

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
As usual, Pinnacle was excellent! Order the clothesline bacon! FUN! Lido was on par. However, the bacon in the morning was sometimes not cooked enough. We did not eat in the main dining room much but what we had was good.

Ship Quality

We love the smaller ships! Ship was in good shape for an old gal!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Large cabin with plenty of storage space! We enjoyed having the balcony and are now afraid we won't be able to cruise again without one! A must for Alaska!
I missed my whale watching excursion due to engine issue. I was disappointed but they immediately credited me back (good reason to book with cruise line) and also gave everyone on board $100 on board credit for arriving in Juneau 2 hours late. I thought that was generous. Plus, we saw humpback whales while on board, anyway!
My favorite port on this trip! Such a fun town! I headed out and had a few drinks with the locals. A great way to really learn about the town, it's culture and residents. Please drink responsibly :)
