Review summary

staff trained to be poilite, always attentive, constantly cleaning the ship, providing all kinds of entertainment, food basically tasty but too abundant, didn't understand how short the time ashore was going to be or that one would start at 7am and end aboutnoon and another would be on a Friday ngiht. Perhaps length of shore stay and timimng of said needs to be clarified

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

very tasty, very ncely done, as an almost vegetarian, would have preferred a few more veggie items

Entertainment

for the most part, very good - not NY Broadway, but certainly what we often get around Columbus and lots of fun

7am came in - interesting - saw a bear and whales and eagles - would have preferred more time and a later start

Juneau, Alaska

3 out of 5
poured rain - that wasn't the ship's fault but it did dampen the experience
Don't Miss: glacier even in the rain was spectacular

Victoria, British Columbia

beautiful, classy place - would have liked to have been there in the daytime with more time fo see the gardens and to perhaps have tea at tea time

beautiful, interesting place
Don't Miss: all of it

Pros: staff and attentiveness
