	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple The ship was more than we expected. It w by Lovie from Fort Myers, FL Sailing date: Aug 2007 Pros: It's common areas are very nice. The staff are excellent. We had a wonderful time. Side excursions available made it hard to choose, but all was better than expected. The naturalist and great entertainment were unexpected. The head chef gave a cooking lesson that was very fun. We didn't know what to expect since this was our first cruise, but we're both planning our next one already. Ship Details: Dining/Food Lovely wait staff, consistently good choices. Stateroom Quality Very comfortable stateroom, but bed was not the best. Ship Staff Quality All staff incredibly gracious and accommodating. Entertainment & Activities Activities: Nice equipment, environment, great view off ship stern, no elliptical device. Entertainment: The shows were high quality, onboard naturalist for Alaska commentary. Entertainment varied with comedy, pop, dancing, music, etc. Movies daily, lounges had good groups, also. Read this user's port of call reviews: Juneau, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska; Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Juneau, Alaska Juneau is beautiful. We had a great day. The zip lining in the rainforest canopy was thrilling. Felt very safe with guides. We hiked up the trail from the north end of town to the top of the mountain behind the city. Great experience, unexpected treat on a well traveled trail (strenuous exercise). The evening whale watching excursion out of Auk bay area was high quality. Comfortable jet boat, binoculars, onboard naturalist, wonderful food and even the whales cooperated. We saw at least 12. Sealions dall porpoises, glaciers. Wonderful day!!! Don't Miss: The zip lining is the best. The whale watch was a class production. ENJOY it all. Hike up the mountain and ride the cable car down. It's a beautiful hike. Ketchikan, Alaska Great!! The back country jet boat excursion was well worth the day. From Samon Falls resort, the guide was a local filled with history and lore of the area. Don't Miss: Nature. Skagway, Alaska Remote nature hike at Haines is beautiful. After a 30 min jet boat ride through the channel to Haines, where we saw whales and the native american captain and crew gave commentary about the area we met the naturalist guide we hiked through the forest with. The trail was easy and scenic. We came to a beautiful beach that we walked down to the point where we had a great sack lunch prepared with fresh salmon in a wrap. The scenery surrounding the area is breathtaking. Don't Miss: Scenery. Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska Tracy Arm resembles the Norwegian fijords I remember from geography. Breath taking views unparalled. Blue icebergs float by as the ship approaches the glacier. The steep mountains, trees waterfalls and snow topped peaks are gorgeous. 9 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Do NOT do Taste of Juneau...do another excursion. Spend your time at the Mendenhall glacier. Don't Miss: Mendenhall glacier. Ketchikan, Alaska Ketchikan is a gateway to the Misty Fjords. Go on the cruise/floatplane excursion without hesitation. Skagway, Alaska Local excursion was excellent. Do your own thing, take a local excursion rather than the ship's version. Don't Miss: Local excursion. Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Poor service. by Reena from Seattle, WA Sailing date: Jun 2006 Pros: The staff. I realized that I left something on board an hour after I disembarked. Although I knew exactly where it was they refused to call the ship and bring it to me. They claimed that it would be in the "lost and found" which they would only receive after the ship sailed. Ship Details: Entertainment & Activities Activities: Very inflexible- would not allow me to mix yoga and pilates. Shows started too early for late diners. Entertainment: We were in the second seating- the entertainment started too early. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

The staff for the most par by Cheryl from Winnipeg, MB Sailing date: Feb 2007 Pros: The dining room staff. The cruise was very nice but we were dissapointed when compared to other cruises we have taken. The food and the staff in the dining room were exceptional. The buffet however was lacking.
