We saw LOTS of whales consistently throughout, plenty of Eagles, sea otters and even bears. The crew members were so friendly welcoming and helpful and although people say the standards have dropped. In case you haven’t noticed standards in society have dropped everywhere since Covid! But Cunard and the quality of the ship still outweighs most uk 4 star hotels - I travel for work and stay in a lot! Weather was super kind too with only two days of cloud and showers. It was warm too. I did two fishing excursions that were OK but I would in future book my own to avoid going with beginners. We did two whale watching tours but again if honest you do not get that close and if you take time to spend looking away from the ship during transmitting from different ports. You’ll see just as much! Transfers from the airport to hotel went well with a private limo but the transfers although marked as private transfers were not private and we shared with another couple in a van, I couldn’t be arsed to challenge. The ports are very small and so excursions are recommended but we booked a sea plane in Juneau on the dock and it was easy and cheaper than booking through the ship. Some people said they had not seems whales but I think these people spent longer inside the ship - going to shows etc. we spent a lot of time on deck 3 and from balcony on deck 8.
Unfair for us to comment on entertainment as we bored of cruise shows so only did two.Read More
