My cruise experience was really nice! I extremely enjoyed it. The entertainment was nice, food was great, amenities were excellent. However, I thought that the number of days could be reduced. All the ports we stopped at had a similar small town touch to it and after 3 small towns, it got repetitive. I think the trip should have been atleast a day or 2 shorter. Towns like Skagway, Ketchiken did not require 8 hours of port time.

The shore excursions were overly priced, we got much better deals for almost half the price for the same excursions. I would have also appreciated some fitness classes, like yoga everyday.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BB

I am not sure if the cabin category is right, but the cabin number is. I really liked the cabin, it was perfectly sized and nice equipped. The house keeping staff was excellent! Vincent Versova also had a smile and greeted us really well.

Port Reviews

Icy Strait

Visited the totem carving studio and it was mind blowing! Walking along the coast was also beautiful

Juneau

Really enjoyed the whale watching! Also went to Mendenhall Glacier by the bus.

Skagway

Walked around the town. Saw the movie about gold rush in the visitor center. Did some jewelry shopping after that. But there was way too much time then required on this port. Would have preferred more time in Juneau.

Ketchikan

It was very nice

Ketchikan

The totem state park is really nice! We took a bus ride there.
