Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

This was my 28th anniversary trip and a bucket list. I was so looking forward to making special memories, but was very disappointed in this trip. The only excursion that we booked was to see the Glacier, which was canceled for no reason before our trip. Plus the Dawes Glacier we did not get close enough but the boat was to do 360 degree turn, but did not, it moved 45 degrees each direction and backed out and we left. I reached out to NCL but have not responded.

We totally enjoyed our weeklong cruise to Alaska from Vancouver. The ship’s crew were excellent - helpful, personable and eager to make our stay memorable. The room was amazing and the weather slowed us to enjoy our balcony throughout the trip. Our favorite hangouts were the crow’s nest (with spectacular views) and the ocean bar (with a great live band). The pinnacle restaurant is worth the splurge for fine dining at its best. Given our total experience, I know we will be cruising somewhere in the world again soon!

Not sure as if I'll ever do Carnival again, was so disappointing. Itinerary was great. Carnivals food and service not so much. Many people, even long time carnival cruisers were complaining

This was a great chance for relaxation, disconnect from the world and just hang out with my spouse while seeing some amazing sights. Very beautiful. All in All a great vacation and we really like the all included pricing.

Getting on the ship was an ordeal. We requested 1pm. Person in front of us requested 1130am. We had gotten to the pier around 1215pm. Standing in line while carrying 15lb of luggage, no place to sit, hard on the back. It took us 2 hours to get checked in. This was my 13th cruise. Never has it taken so long. I don't know if I will cruise again because of that.

Overall loved Alaska but hated the Jewel. And all the 50+ people I talked to on the cruise felt similarly. Now that I'm still horribly sick from whatever virus from the cruise, despite masking properly and traveling solo to avoid people, I definitely won't be going back to Norwegian again.

We’d go back in a heartbeat. If I had any criticism, it’s that the ship needs to do better on info about where to find the gangways and the whole process of leaving the ship at various ports.

Overall, I had a great time with my friends on the cruise but I will NEVER sail on NCL again. After all the years they have been in business they should have figured out how to move large groups of people efficiently.

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this cruise. I highly recommend it.

Cruise to some islands in Alaska, and a brief trip to a glacier

This was the second time on the Bliss and 5th NCL cruise. I am already looking at a future cruise in the Haven on the Bliss. The way the staff treat you, you want to keep going back. This was also our second Alaskan cruise and we will continue to go back. The beauty is breathtaking and even if you don't get off the ship in port, the views are worth the trip.

Norwegian did a great job of working with our airline to get our main luggage onboard after the airline lost it. Appreciated the great attitude of the entire staff. Only criticism is the constant attempts to get you spending more money (could not enjoy the awesome Spinnaker Lounge due to the constant sales pitches booked in the room).

This was our first cruise, we had a great time at the ports but wish we were made to feel welcome on board which sometimes we were not. We felt overlooked by passengers who'd been on since Tokyo.

I think Norwegian has lost sight of the guest. I have been on four cruises in the last six months. Two Norwegian. Two others. The two Norwegians were the worst two. Eye off the ball

The very best word you could use to describe this cruise is mediocre and I have always loved cruises. This is easily the worst cruise I have ever been on and we have been on 20 + cruises.

It's definitely a worthwhile cruise mostly because of the magnificent views and landscape, but also for the food, drinks and amazing service on board. The downside is the ports of calls. Most of those cities in Alaska are tourist traps. Vancouver is absolutely gorgeous, though.

Alaska is breath taking. The crew and food on the Norwegian Jewel sucked.

When cruising check the ports you will be visiting. If you want a quick on and off at each port and don't want to do some exploring than this cruise is for you. If you want to spend more time at each port than consider another cruise or cruise line

Had a great time, enjoyed the unlimited bar but the shuttle and limited time in port was irritating.

Overall good cruise, but missing the glacier was a major disappointment.
