It was part of a cruise and excursion to Alaska and Yukon territory. The land part of the vacation was very well done and the land coordinator was exceptional. The ship must have a naval architects nightmare. It was very poorly designed for efficient flow of passenger from one part of the ship to another.

We had three pieces of luggage and only two made it to our room The other one we found standing in a hall near a maintenance door, nowhere near our room.
