Not the quality I expected - poor service, lots of nickel and diming, be prepared to pay more than anticipated.

I chose this cruise as it was the only one that fit into my schedule. I did not realize that cruise ships now nickel and dime you on everything.

The staff is not helpful when trying to book specialty restaurants. They can't recommend anything, they tell you to look at the menu and come back. I could not book specialty restaurants prior arriving on the ship, I tried, no specialty restaurant had reservations. When I got on the ship, the options where 5:30 pm or 8:15 pm.

The restaurants that are included have very basic food for lunch and dinner. The buffet was massive, unfortunately, the food I had was supposed to be hot and it was not. The breakfast in Taste and the Buffet was very good. Check the hours of the restaurants before going and get there at least 20 minutes early as food may be gone.

Cabin Review

Family Balcony

The cabin was comfortable, lots of storage. The shower was better than expected. The doors on the closet could use some little pads to stop them from rattling when at sea.

Bring Magnetic hooks so you can hang more items. Bring a magnetic whiteboard to stick on your cabin door so you can ask for extra items.

Port Reviews

Glacier Bay

We cruised around Glacier Bay, it was breathtaking. The Captain maneuvered the ship flawlessly so everyone had a chance to see the glaciers.
