Nickel and Dime by markisboss

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Encore

If I decide to cruise again, I will choose another cruise line and do a little more research. I hated being over-charged and nickel and dime'd for so many things. The TV system needs improvement. The map app in the room is from the mid-90s! Don't offer all you can drink and then sell water for $6.50 a liter. Don't offer as an itinerary a four minute ride to the top of a hill for $50 per person. Don't charge extra for mediocre premium food. Not really an overview, just things I wasn't happy with.

The trip was ok. Overall the food was good. Docking so far from town centers and had to be bussed in was not good. Entertainment that was available was good, but not enough variety. I would not receommend this cruise. by djarrard

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Encore

I enjoyed many things about the cruise, but not enough I would recommend it to others. Having to be bussed into the town centers was not good. We waited about an hour to get on a bus at one of the stops and had very limited time in that town. Service was excellent, food was very good.

Beautiful Alaskan Cruise by lkmeyer66

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

first cruise experience. wish we could have enjoyed specialty restaurants at lunch. I learned a lot and would like to cruise again, at least I have some knowledge for the next cruise. It was a good time, can't say I got very much rest but it was enjoyable. Had fun and it was a great experience. Was grateful I did not experience seasickness, kind of enjoyed the sway. who knew!

Alaksa was beautiful! by Titomac

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

The cruise was awesome, Overall a wonderful cruise. The open bar was nice, you could get two drinks at one time. No limit just fun. They had the same menu at most of the bars which was kind of lame compared to carnival every bar has a different menu. The main dining room took quite a bit of time to get your food but good nice people. The ship was clean, easy to navigate and amazing ports. If you are going to Alaska, I strongly recommend to get a balcony. So worth the views in the morning.

Nearly perfect vacation by martineg66

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

This was my first cruise and it was a very good experience. My only issues were with the weather disrupting shore excursions (which is disappointing, but not something the cruise line can do anything about), and one of the shore excursions was briefer than promised.

Ship: Norwegian Sun

I can't wait to go next year! Yes, you take a chance with the end of season stormy weather but the prices are terrific, less crowds make it relaxing and the service was fabulous!

NCL = No Cash Left by hretana

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Encore

This was the absolute most disappointing cruise I have been on. It felt like one big long time share presentation. The food was awful. Everything cost extra. The crew got caught cheating in bingo. Yep.

Late Season Alaska Cruise by tkbutte

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

It was an enjoyable cruise, but with the weather making the pool area mostly unusable many areas of the ship were overcrowded. We have cruised on the Norwegian Escape, and it had more venues available than the Bliss.

Not for everyone by lynnyrefh

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

I planned for more than a year for this trip, to have the excursions canceled ruined the trip. Much of Alaska was closed for the season, so no real food to experience or culture.

Trip of A Lifetime by rlafer58

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

We totally enjoyed this Alaskan cruise, booked for our 45th wedding anniversary. The trip did not disappoint. It was our first cruise, and we would choose Norwegian again for future cruise opportunities.

Surprise add-ons by gardensofhansen

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Sun

The challenges of cruising to Alaska are real and we expected them. Overall the cruise was good. What wasn't good was a number of unexpected charges that I'm still not sure what they were for. I have come to realize that you double the price you think you're paying for a cruise, but these additional add ons beyond that were an unpleasant surprise.

Amazing October Alaska Cruise by stevehutchason

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Encore

This was an amazing experience and the ship was one of the best I have been on. It was very secluded with varying restaurants and bars and lounge areas. The room was big enough for two with the balcony view.

Alaska Cruise by wgilles

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Eurodam

Time in port was too short. Icy Strait and Victoria were essentially at night. We have been on 10 Holland America cruises. We think food and activities have been down-graded. Many, many food items on the menus have an added cost. We tried room service breakfast once. We did this many times on previous cruises. The menu for this service is now very, very limited.

Alaska in 7 short days by indiohill

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

Glad we went but wouldn't go again. Staff, rooms, and food were great but the crowds and noise made it hard to enjoy. Observation deck was great if you went early. Too many people saving seats and sleeping when others could use the spot to enjoy the scenery.
