Over all this was on excellent cruise. The only reason why I am rating the cruise as 3 stars is due to the over maintenance of the ship. Being that it is an older ship (built in 2002) and has gone though renovation some years back, this boat is in serious need of dry dock and repairs. The most significant things: The back of the ship (near the theater and seven seas restaurant) smelled like sewage, so strong the ship staff was spraying the carpet to help lessen the odor (needless to say we did not eat at the restaurant nor go to any shows).

Also, the kids pool had large corrosion (rust has eaten through the side of the pool) marks in and around the pool ... I always thought rust was poisons, could be wrong. Other than that, the ship staff work very hard daily to keep the ship clean and organized daily.

Ports of Call: Sitka, Juneau, Glacier Bay (breath taking) and Ketchikan Alaska. The water plane tour though Misty Fjords National park is worth the $$$ and completely awesome!

Mid-Ship Balcony

Average Balcony room regarding size and overall quality. Shower stall is small but nothing an average size person would have any problems with.
