We joined the ship at San Francisco for the Alaska cruise and in spite of having an arrival at the pier time we had to queue for about forty five minutes outside the terminal. Being a hot day I was not too happy about this. Once inside the terminal things moved slowly but we were on board in a reasonable time. We were delighted with the ship. Having previously cruised on the Getaway we found this ship smaller but well laid out. We soon found our way round and were pleased with the various dining options and bars. The communal areas were rarely crowded even when the weather was bad. The Garden Cafe was sometimes busy and the food was not always hot (hot plate stands were inadequate). There was plenty of variety every mealtime. At breakfast time the complimentary dining often included Cagneys which was underpopulated as I guess was due to it being fee paying the rest of the day. The two complimentary restaurants were similar and provided a very civilised way to dine. Sometimes the service was slow but not the fault of the servers who were excellent.

The entertainment was mostly first rate even if some was not to our taste. The shows in the theatre were professionally delivered and there was always a seat without pre - booking.

The bars around the ship all had live music and we particularly enjoyed the band Innovation and the piano man called Meny.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BD

A lovely cabin. It was spacious and had a very comfortable king sized bed, T.V. a coach, fridge, safe and coffee making facilities. Cleverly laid out bathroom with shower and plenty of towels and a hair dryer. The cabin was attended to twice a day and kept very clean. Towel art left in the evening. The balcony was a reasonable size with two chairs and a table. Being Aft meant some rocking when waves grew higher. The air conditioning was fairly loud but it blocked out any other noises. We slept soundly and were not disturbed once.
