Lets start off with the good things. First Alaska is beautiful and the weather for the trip was generally wonderful. The ports are fun and there was a lot to do. (Note: we saved a lot of money waiting to book excursions until we got off the boat) Our cabin steward Putu was GREAT, and the cruise director staff does a good job of making the days fun. The dining room food was generally very good. The service in the dining room was so so in the beginning but picked up over the course of the cruise.
The group on this trip included Mom(42) Dad(41) Daughter(10) Granny and Grandpa
One other note, our first cruise was on the Oasis of the Seas, so this ship had a lot to live up to.
