	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Awesome Cruise by Jeff B from Battle Creek, NE Sailing date: Jun 2011 Pros: Shows and meals Cons: Cost of off ship tours Overall the ship was awesome as was her crew and captain. I do think that the ship needs some updating as some of the paint etc were beginning to show their ware and tear. The water pressure in the cabin could have been better but other than that, I really have nothing bad to say. I would highly recommend this ship and cruise line to anyone. . Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Our waiter was awesome! The waiters on the Windjammer deck could have been a little more attentive. It seemed that as the cruise went on they were less attentive.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Oceanview Great family cruise by A Traveler from Milwaukee, WI Sailing date: Jun 2010 Pros: Kids club Cons: Late dining time We took this cruise with our extended family. Together we had 2 grandparents, 4 parents and 7 kids ages 10 - 5. We all had a great time. It was perfect for us, not much night life my husband and brother in law report, but that was fine with us. The kids all loved kids club. It was a nice small group of kids so they all made some really nice friends and the staff was so energetic and fun that the kids all had a ball! They would have been happy to stay in kids club the whole cruise! Happy kids = happy parents, so we all had fun! The rock climbing wall was a big hit as well! We were stuck with the late dining, so had several meltdowns with the little kids, but the staff went out of their way to try to make them happy, even making paper animals out of the kids placemats and cutting the kids meat for us! A couple nights we fed the kids early, and put them in kids club so we could have a relaxing adult dinner. That worked out great! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The main dining room was very good. The Windjammer Cafe was not bad, but harder to navigate with the buffet and got quite crowded at times and hard to find seating. The staff was helpful though when they saw us struggling with the kids, they got our drinks and even helped us find a table. The kids loved the bacon for breakfast. Soda is not included, but we didn't miss it since there was coffee, tea, iced tea, lemonade, and fruit punch for the kids, and juice and milk for breakfast. The kids loved the self serve ice cream station, but it was empty quite a bit. Stateroom Quality We had a family oceanview stateroom. It slept 6 great. The bunk beds were in their own seperate cubby with a curtain so we even sent the boys to "their room". The girls had the fold out couch and a curtain seperated our bed from theirs. Two closets and plenty of storage drawers. It worked out great and was perfect for us! Another family in our party had the large oceanview stateroom for 4 and they were quite cramped. Ship Staff Quality All were wonderful with the kids! Entertainment & Activities Went to two shows. One was great, one was OK. Children's Programs Staff were all fun, friendly, and very energetic. Kids loved it! Fairly small group of kids made it perfect for the kids, they all made friends and staff got to know all of them very well. Kids would have stayed there the whole time if they could have. Read this user's port of call reviews: Juneau, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska; Victoria, British Columbia Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Juneau, Alaska We went on the whale watching and salmon bake trip. We loved it! The salmon lunch was delicious and the kids enjoyed walking along the beach, picking up shells and spotting star fish. The boat trip was fun and we saw several whales and seals! Don't Miss: The Mount Roberts Tram was great! Skagway, Alaska Took the 3 1/2 hour train ride. Very scenic, kids enjoyed it too. Victoria, British Columbia We took the hop on hop off bus with the kids. Rode the loop once, then took it to China Town and walked back. Fisherman's Wharf was a hit with the kids. They got to feed a seal! Then we put the kids back in kids club on the ship and went back to check out the pubs for a little adult time. 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside The cruise was great, service excellant. by Brad C. from Waco Tx. Sailing date: Sep 2008 Pros: Something to do all the time. Cons: Too rushed in some ports. Both the cruise and the service were great. The staff were extremely polite and went out of their was to assist in any way possible. This was our first cruise and we had a great time. The room we stayed in was very small but comfortable. There was so much to see and do that we were only there to catch a few hours of sleep before going to the next adventure. Ship Details: Ship Quality Crew was constantly cleaning anp painting at every chance, Dining/Food Food was very good and always available. Food service staff was excellent. Stateroom Quality Room was small gut comfortable, Ship Staff Quality Overly friendly. Liked to visit and answer questions, Entertainment & Activities Pleanty of activities for any age. Read this user's port of call reviews: Juneau, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska; Prince Rupert, British Columbia Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Juneau, Alaska We went on the Mendenhall Glacier & Salmon bake excursion. Had we realized that we would have had such a good view of the Glacier at Tracy Arms from the ship, we would have chosen another excursion in Juno. Skagway, Alaska We did the 20 mile , 4 hr. Train ride. I wish we would have taken the longer one now. The old downtown area of Skagway was also very nice. Don't Miss: Train ride, Prince Rupert, British Columbia Don't Miss: Whale watching. 12 out of 16 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview Greatest Trip Ever by Lois M. from Culloden, WV Sailing date: Jul 2009 Pros: Friendliness of the ship's employees Cons: Not enough smoking areas The ship was clean. The employees were so very nice and friendly. They knew your name and spoke each time they saw you. They were all very helpful. The food, it was great. The bathroom was a little confined but it all worked out wonderfully. Ship Details: Ship Quality Everything seemed clean, on all parts of the ship. The pool area and the clubs were kept above standard clean. Dining/Food There were so many choices and the time periods for eating was well established. I loved it all. Stateroom Quality There were 3 of us in a room. A little cramped. The bathroom was very small. But still was nothing to get down about. Ship Staff Quality Every employee we encountered was courteous, friendly, smiling, helpful, and they all went above and beyond what was necessary. The employees were the BEST EVER!!! Entertainment & Activities There was a good variety of entertainment on the ship. People had a lot to choose from and there was really---never a dull moment. Children's Programs Did not have children...unfamiliar with their activities. 11 out of 12 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: Group Wow! I was really impressed! by Sharon from Chicago, IL Sailing date: Aug 2007 Pros: The service! Unbelievable! I played with monkeys in Honduras, went to Chichen Itza, the beach and other Mayan ruins in Mexico, met amazing people, and spent time with my family, which was important. Ship Details: Dining/Food Anything you want to eat, even if it's not on the menu, you can order. The staff was wonderful! Additionally, the food was great, especially the lobster! Stateroom Quality The attendant was fantastic! She even made our towels into little cute animals...and she left chocolate on the pillows at night. We had a great view of the sea as well. You would also think that with the size of the room it would be cramped-none in the least. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Children's Programs Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; Progreso (Merida), Mexico; Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, Honduras Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico Cozumel sucked! I've studied Mexican culture for about 7 yrs...it was like going to Florida. It was also very expensive. The taxi's def rip you off...I would have preferred to just stay on the boat. Awful. Although, luckily we found this amazing museum, which was the only nice part about Cozumel. Don't Miss: Nothing because it was awful. Progreso (Merida), Mexico Chichen Itza! The pyramids were awesome! I wish we wouldn't have stopped to shop, which is an obvious plot to get people to buy overly expensive crap. I needed more time at the pyramids. I wish I would have had more time in Progreso. What an amazing place! Don't Miss: Chichen Itza! Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, Honduras Monkeys in Roatan! People were friendly, everywhere. The excursion was awesome! I found a local place to eat and the food was great! Plus, the people I met were incredible! I would recommend Roatan to anybody. It was beautiful! Don't Miss: The monkeys! They are everywhere! 9 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
