Review summary

This cruise was just ok. We got places, they fed us food, and there were some things to do. The saving grace is the staff was very nice.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Loud, disorganized, and chaotic.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was just ok. If you pay for specialty dining it’s amazing but the included options were just average.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Everything was to loud or just subpar. The ship smells of smoke and any activity they had was on max volume.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The shows were good for what they were, nothing to write home about.

Children's Programs

My kids s need to like the kids club. Even though one day they only watched movies and played video games.

Alaska - Not a once in a lifetime !

Mini geataway

Most of the trip was good. However, staying 12 hours in Icy Point was ridiculous, especially after I found out that Norwegian owns it. Then only 4 hours in Victoria from 8 p.m to midnight on our last night of the cruise? Not great planning on Norwegian.
