The cruise was all I anticipated - marvellous scenery - lots of variety in the food choices - the room was fine - interesting and friendly people to talk with. Most of the side trips were very good or acceptible - the one which was less interesting was the whale watching and glacier which was far too long - sitting around waiting to see the back of another whale or its fin or tail could have been omitted - we didn't need so long looking at the glacier - never did one see the whale completely diving out of the water. Many of the staff on the sruise had strong accents which my elderly hearing made it hard to understand.
