We chose this cruise as we wanted to visit Alaska and see the wonderful wildlife. We left from Vancouver of which we explored and enjoyed. This was mine and my husband's first cruise. Disembarkation was really efficient it was only border control that there was queuing issues but not to troublesome. On return it ran totally smoothly. The ship was very clean we were on deck 6 at the front the room was very clean and the staff were very polite and helpful and this we experienced throughout the ship. We preferred fine dining and the food was lovely and varied. We booked our excursions before leaving again these all went smoothly and suffered no issues . The entertainment was brilliant the dancers were superb and varied the shows. The talk from the rangers at glacier bay was very informative. We haven't caught the cruise bug but that is only due to the fact this was the only way we could see alaska as we did. A fantastic trip of which we thoughrly enjoyed.
