We chose this cruise because the ship was smaller than many of the other cruises, the great reputation of Viking, and the ports it was sailing to. We were not disappointed. The cabins are well thought out and were perfect for the amount of time that we spent in them. The food was outstanding. From the World Cafe to the three sit-down restaurants, the staff and food was excellent. Any need we had ...

My first cruise...a friend said probably the least amount of children with Carnival...cabin steward was very attentive. All staff had kind words & greetings at all times, if they were assigned to you or not. The waiters and waitresses were exceptional. Moonlight Sonata Deck 3 was our dining room. Ron and his asst. Yolanda were outstanding. They made the experience wonderful. We almost neglected ...
This cruise was wonderful in every aspect. The food and service were exceptional in the Lido market, the scenery was magnificent, seeing whales and sea otters magical, and there were places to find early in the morning to be alone and take photos of the sunrise. We went on the Tracy Arm inlet excursion and it was breathtaking. We also took the train out of Skagway which I highly recommend. The ...
My wife and I had done Alaska about 15 years before and loved it so we decided to return. We flew in the night before and stayed at the Blue Horizon on Robison St. It was one of the more reasonable places to stay and there are lots of restaurants nearby and a nice walk to Stanley Park or lots of shops. We took an Uber to the ship and the embarkation took some time but the line never stopped ...
One of my bucket list items was to visit Alaska. Plus I have visited 49 of the U.S. State Capitol buildings as kind of a hobby, so Juneau was intriguing. My older sister (71, wheelchair bound amputee) suggested in fall of 2022 for myself, her, and our other brother and his wife to do an Alaska cruise. So I researched them and we were torn between going in Aug or Sep 2023. Aug is rainiest, and ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We went from Vancouver, BC to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Whittier in the cruise portion of the trip. In Ketchikan we did the Aleutian Ballad and the tour operators were very knowledgeable and informative. They are/were actual Bearing Sea crab fishermen. It was a great tour. In Juneau we chose a combination Mendenhall Glacier hike/Whale watch ...

My group of friends and I have not been on many cruises. We heard this ship and Holland America in general was a step up from the other big name cruises, particularly for adults without accompanying children. We heard accurately. This ship is fantastic and the entire experience far exceeded our expectations in each area that was important, from the embarkation to the cruise to returning to dry ...
Our cruise was from Vancouver to Vancouver up through the inside passage and Glacier Bay. It was our first cruise, so Cruise Critic was a huge help in knowing what to expect and feeling prepared. My husband and I were traveling with our adult sons (24 and 26). We booked two separate cabins, one balcony room and one inside cabin.
We got an email a week or so before leaving home with an 11am ...
