The cruise itself was wonderful. We took the island passage through Alaska and enjoyed every port except Victoria. One garden to see and nothing else. This port should definitely be skipped. We went on the bus tour and they took us around and showed us where the rich lived. Really? I thought I was on a Beverly Hills tour.
Would rate it a 10 out of 10, but then the constant painful sales pitches on everything, made the cruise painful.
A few examples: selling shots at breakfast, selling teeth whitening products when we were getting our hair done (and did not want to be bothered), selling innersoles when we went to the gym for a stretching class.
seattle has a homeless problem and it was very sad
we saw many locals giving items to the homeless, which was very nice to see
the lady at the dye-tie shirt called me a name for not buying a shirt. seemed a bit rude.
