Chose this cruise as it was a small ship and it sailed to Seward Alaska, rather than just to Skagway as many do.

The most disappointing thing was the very poor entertainment. Only had a show at 10pm each night with a singing crew. It was like a visit to Vegas every night without the lights. You basically had to make your own entertainment. So a drink at the bar it was or a movie on TV. However the movies were few and far between - the same movie being repeated all day. There were no activities to meet other travelers. There was no shared seating at dining tables, so again it was difficult to meet other travellers.

The room was comfortable although it was tight as it had too much furniture. We had our own butler and he was from India, so it was clear the only person that mattered was the male. I found this quite rude.

Cabin Review

Veranda Suite

Rooms were crowded as there seemed too much furniture, although the walk-in robe was nice. The bathroom had a shower and a bath - not sure if that is standard, but it did take up a lot of space that would have been more useful in the bedroom/lounge area.
