Glad we did it for the scenery on a smaller ship and an inside cabin was perfect as our viewing was done elsewhere. Bring reading material. Have low expectations for entertainment, food, and dining service.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Our time was 11 AM, too early as we wanted to continue sightseeing. We waited in rows of chairs butted right up against each other and waited to board. How is that healthy?
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
We previously sailed on HAL and thought the food was very good. This time it ranged from okay to inedible. The portions were large with dining room server food shaming for ordering less or not having dessert. We observed many people who enjoyed eating a lot of food.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Standard for a small ship, the scenery was great!
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Not much on offer and nothing like previous quality.
Children's Programs
No kids
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Room stewards were *****. The dining service in The Lido was bare bones and poor in the dining room. It was quite unpleasant.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Other than few outlets in the cabins, this ship does not show its age.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
This is a great cabin for those prone to seasickness and/or light sleepers and a good location for dining, getting on and off, and the stairs.
Ship tip
The Crow’s Nest is the place to be on the Alaska cruise, especially for Glacier Bay National Park.
Self-guided, Stanley Park is huge and lovely. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is free and public transit is easy ($6 pp rt). The Amtrack Cascade train hugs the coast from Vancouver to Seattle, beautiful 4 hour one-way trip for $30 pp.
