I chose this cruise because it spent the day in Glacier Bay (which did not disappoint). We had 2 cabins one for our 3 kids (21, 18 and 17) and one for my husband and I. Both had verandahs. We booked through a big box store and had quite a bit of onboard credit which was nice. My complaints were minimal and the cruise was way better than I had anticipated. The Greenhouse Spa was kind of chaotic. It is close to the Lido Market and I was trying to relax and be in the moment in my robe and there are people wandering around looking for a restroom. Or coming in the spa dressing room looking for the buffet. Really poor signage and not super relaxing. The Lido Market was also pretty chaotic every time I went there. We stuck to the main dining room for our dinners and had breakfast and lunch in there a few times also. Just did the Lido for grab and go sandwiches and quick salads. There were several issues with us and other guests getting on the Navigator app. People were still asking about how to use it 3 days into the cruise. They should have a quick session on how that works.
Our cabin was just about what I had expected. There were 3 closets plus under the beds and desk drawers. No complaints about space and storage. We had a small verandah with 2 chairs, foot stools and a small table. The room was very clean and nothing was worn or showing age. The "frame" the tv was in rattled a little bit the first day and I put a small piece of paper behind it and that solved that problem.
Views from all over the ship all day! Naturalists on board giving descriptions, wildlife and split pea soup. It was incredible!
Beautiful city that reminded me of Europe. My husband and son went to a bar to watch the basketball game (Toronto was playing so that was fun for them being in Canada). My daughters and I walked around the harbor, went into the Empress Hotel, shopped and hit Tim Horton's. It was good to not be on an excursion for us...I think we were ready for a little free range time.
