The pros, clean ship. Staff constantly cleaning and organizing public area bathrooms very nice and clean. Captain Tasso is cool and safe and the crew does a great job navigating and keeping us safe.
I traveled in concierge class. State room attendant poor English and hard to communicate , they make a big deal of the pillow menu and then they can't get the pillows, I'm allergic to down and it took 2 days to try to get a hypo allergenic pillow , I asked concierge chief for help to intervene, even then the attendant could not understand because he brought Swedish foam pillow which is fine so I let it go.
Nobody smiles all staff are dour. Customer service desk on third floor all from South Africa and they are civil, nothing more.
Cramped, but very functional. very quiet, cannot hear engines nor neighbors. balcony is a must for Alaskan coastline. Hair dryer anemic and tiny, one robe in room. Binoculars were broken.
