We chose this cruise for the itinerary and May sailing. The ship overall is very clean and pretty but is showing a little bit of wear and age. The crew is excellent and really makes this ship special. Our room steward was the best we have had on ten plus cruises. The staff in the Blu restaurant were excellent and the food overall was very good and wonderfully presented. The buffet was very crowded with average but acceptable food. The main dining room was pretty good, I just don't like how they cram the two top tables inches apart. The excursions were overall nice, we enjoyed the bike and brew tour in Juneau and the rainforest, eagles and totems tour in Ketchikan. Also, the train ride in Skagway is very beautiful scenery and worth the money. Finally, the entertainment and production shows were outstanding. Don't overlook this ship because it is older, the crew, activities, entertainment and destinations more than make up for what is lacking!
