Newly renovated ship and first cruise of season for the Puget Sound. Max passengers is 175 but we only had around 80 with over 6o crew! Our experience was 150% better than our last ACL cruise in 2021 on the Constitution. More staff, more cleaning, and better organized. A lot of excursions were offered at each port. Very happy that Canada opened back up and we were able to go on the all day excursion to Victoria and Buchart Gardens. We only had one port where we had to be tendered. Food was delicious. We had lots of salmon and other fresh fish for both lunch and dinner. Final dinner had an option of steak and lobster tail. Yum! Desserts abounded at every meal. The chef was also very flexible making alternate meals. Lots of brand new servers but all were great. Breakfast is still a little shaky on quickness of service, but it is not because they don’t hustle. Entertainment was okay. We love the ability to watch briefings and entertainment from our cabin on the TV.
We originally booked but got upgraded a deck upon checkin. Cabin was very nice and clean. All bathroom amenities were included. Room had a safe and Keurig with plenty of cups which were replenished very day.
