As my wife and I were determined to spend our actual Ruby Wedding Anniversary away from home, we were pleased to discover an advertisement for this cruise which appeared to fit the bill. How right we were, as we found this week-long cruise to be a delight from beginning to end. The scenery was breathtaking, the animals and sea creatures amazing, the on-board accommodation and service fantastic and the memories sufficient to last a lifetime! Not having visited this particular area before, we found the air bracing, as well as a little damp for the first couple of days. However the sun did shine upon us for most of the time, enabling us to see salmon, whales, eagles, sea otters and sea lions, to name but a few of the creatures awaiting us. The towns along the way were fascinating and all appeared to have their own particular uniqueness, reflecting past events (e.g. Gold Rush) and inhabitants(e.g. Russians). A delightful holiday with much to recommend it.

| Quality of Food |  |
| Tried all the restaurants during our week and all varieties of menus. | | Entertainment |  |
| Most enjoyable: those performed by the resident entertainment team.
Least enjoyable: the American comedian as his style of comedy was not to our taste. | | Shore Excursions | |
| Best: Whale watching.
Least: Juneau town tour. | | Staff | |
| We are not able to select an individual, as all staff were polite, pleasant and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. | | Children's Facilities | n/a |
| | Onboard Activities |  |
| Fair amount of choice, with lectures of particular interest in addition to daily commentary in the Observation Lounge given by two resident professors. | | Cabins | |
| Fantastic! | | Overall Rating | |
