We enjoyed Alaska and none of the shore excursions disappointed. We saw lots of whales, the mendenhal glacier, took the white pass train ride, panned for gold, toured a dredge, enjoyed glacier bay ( except for the park ranger who droned on and on ) saw the lumberjack show and totem pole park, Butchart gardens was incredible. The food was disappointing. We only ate in the complementary restaurants. Breakfast buffet was always good. My husband was uncomfortable with the size of our room and the bathroom. All were small but standard for a cruise ship. I thought I had driven that point home but apparently not. The water pressure was good and our cabin steward was amazing. I did not really like the freestyle eating. It seemed a little chaotic. Our 13 yo loved the Entourage club and participated in all the activities. It was very restful for us and we enjoyed all the movies that played in our cabin.
