Embarkation was efficient, warm & quick. No band playing live when we first got on like other cruises in the past.

I asked if the entertainment director was new since the level of this service seemed to be novice. Many activities dragged on and did not include most of the audience but a few guest only with the majority being forced to be a spectator.

Personal shopping director seemed to be working harder with the tons of jewelry store merchants than the guest. His presentation was long and always ended up with a long queue line to get his 'super discount card' that did nothing for us when we went to buy a ring. After we left the Alaska ports he disappeared from sight and offered nothing for shopping tips in Vancouver BC.

Cabin Review

Large Interior Stateroom

Cabin K

Never felt closed in even though there were no windows. When debarking for Vancouver BC our closest elevator & immediate hallway were blocked off for passenger screening. Not too inconvenient but had to go long way around to get off ship at exit just 10 feet away. No noise problems, our adult kids were in room next to us & we never heard a peep from them. Loved having a room safe, plenty of storage but hanging formal attire was a bit cramped but workable. New carpeting, linens, TVs & bathrooms were awesome. No IPods yet due to technology glitch. Small (and I mean small) sofa was comfy. We took this room knowing we did not plan to stay in there very much. Would take similar room again if I had to.
