The cabin was fine and the beds were comfortable. The closet was large but it did not have enough hangers. Glad I took foldable plastic ones. They came in really handy. We had ordered kosher meals but they were not served with plastic utensils which are necessary to maintain the kosher. The kosher meals were not very good and they were only available for dinner, not breakfast or lunch. I would say, don't bother. They need someone who can advise them on kosher requirements. So we ate the restaurant food - ordering fish and vegetables, salads, etc. This food was only adequate. The same food day in and day out and monotonous. They need to do more with their menus.

The ship activities were kind of hokey so we didn't do any of them. The land shore excursions were very well organized. And the land tour was great. However, the lodges were not up to the standards I would expect. The public restroom floor in one of the lodges was missing tiles. The shower head in one of our bathrooms only had water coming out of the outside ring so there was a large empty space in the middle. Made rinsing my hair difficult. The metal supports for the ceiling tiles were rusted, etc. Since they had just opened, I would have expected better of them. The staff were all very friendly.The shows in the Princess Theater were quite good.

Glacier Bay

The ship cruised up Glacier Bay and it was lovely. We really enjoyed it. Except I didn't get to see a glacier calving which I really wanted to see.
