The main dining room on the cruise was very cramped and the food was of a poor standard comparing to the buffet upstairs. The menu in the main dining room was exactly the same throughout the cruise. The ports within Alaska are full of tatty souvenir shops that are near enough identical in all ports. The only port that you do not have enough time to go into is victoria because if you have a trip booked you do not have enough time to go anywhere else. The cruise would be better if you had more time in Victoria rather than the tatty souvenir shops in the port previous. It was as if the cruise liners have a financial interest with these shops and they do not have any in Victoria hence the limited time you are in that port.
The balcony state room was big but very dated and the carpet was worn through at the door to the balcony. The tv remote did not work very well.
Disembarkation in Seattle was a complete farce and was as coordinated as a box of frogs. This was totally the opposite to when we embarked which was very smooth.
