Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

I was stunned to see a bill at the door last day of almost $1500 for all the assorted charges - they charged about $15 a day per person for the room to be cleaned... in the Crows Nest coffee, tea, etc, was not free as it was around the ship... felt nickeled and dimed all throughout. I could have taken my daughter to Europe for what this entire cruise cost us.

This was the first time to join Norwegian Cruise. Most certainly Norwegian is the best for us so far. We confused some of payment system such as premium beverage package and Children's meal services because we strongly expect a REAL all inclusive plan without any additional payments except for very limited special activities. However we all very much appreciated all of cruise staff members and we were so lucky to see very thoughtful people. We are looking forward to seeing you next time soon!!

This was my husbands first cruise but not mine. It was for our 25th wedding anniversary. I enjoyed it, although there were times of boredom. Many of the activities on the ship are not interesting to us and I am unsure if we will cruise again.

GREAT TIME, JULIE BOSCHEE DID AN GREAT JOB HELPING US WITH THIS CRUISE, SHE NEEDS A RAISE FOR THE GOOD JOB SHE DID FOR US.

The only concern I would express is there was on going difficulty with our accounts. Often times my husband would be told our account was closed, only to visit customer service and discover that was not the case. I am not certain what the glitch was on this, neither was our CS rep Rosemare. Even when we were disembarking my husband was stopped and told he needed to reconcile his account and when we went to CS and stood on line...we were told that there was not problem. Very inconvenient and never understood why... Maybe next time we need a CC for both parties in a stateroom. ????

I can't imagine a better cruise to Alaska! As first time cruisers, we're already excited to book our next cruise with Royal Caribbean!

Was a most enjoyable Inside Passage Alaskan Cruise...have recommended to several friends

We met a really nice group of people due to having to sit in the 20 seat smoking section while getting rained or snowed on, but it made for lots of laughs. I would've been pissed if I had small children who expected to swim or do the the Big Slide advertised. I've sailed Norwegian for 25 yrs & would say this was my only disappointing cruise. But it was ALASKA, so I expected it to be Cold, just expected a Ship made for it (enclosed pool & upper decks). This ship was made for it's original NYC port & trips to Bermuda & Bahamas.- and should stay there.

Mostly great. Disembarkation for the Excursions were not organized well. The security as we came aboard in the ports were rude and arrogant.

Overall very relaxing well organized cruise. We loved the Free Style Dining in which we could choose any restaurant and any time. It was easy to make reservations on board right from the screens in the hallway. Ports of call in Alaska were fantastic, staff was very cordial and attentive. The captain was amazing in how he could handle the ship in the tightest of spaces (turning around in a narrow passage at the glacier!!!). Food and coffee were the only small negatives - not as good as expected but will sail NCL again.

In summary, I highly recommend Alaska (go on the ship with the best deal). Get a balcony room it's worth it (saw a moose because of it).

What a wonderful experience! This was our first cruise. We took my 91 year old dad and it was like having a kid in a candy shop, not only were we experiencing all these new and wonderful things, but we got to witness his joy in them also! Would go again in a heartbeat!

Good cruise with lots to do, but also lots of crowds and activity around. If you want relaxing, hang out on the observation deck or in one of the small cozy areas of the ship. Having a balcony is a must. Room service is great to eat quietly and if you drink, get the pre-paid drink package. You can carry plates of food and drinks all over the ship. Also, there is an area just for adults which is nice for some wanting a kid-free area

In summary, I highly recommend Alaska (go on the ship with the best deal). Get a balcony room it's worth it (saw a moose because of it).

i did really enjoy the fabulous views and lovely staff - days at sea were wonderful - i would highly recommend an alaska cruise - i was less than thrilled with the very short stops in many of our ports=victoria especially -i may do another alaska cruise someday - but it will have better port situations -

This was our second time on this cruise and it is a must do. You will not regret it at all.

Nice and relaxing. Good quality food, Mostly excellent service. Dawe's glacier port adventure should not be offered since the you can see the glacier from the cruise and the nice staff offers you hot chocolate while the ones who paid several hundreds of dollars for this port adventure were not that impressed. I wished they would have noted that we would still be able to see the glacier from the cruise and only select this port adventure if you need to see it a little closer. Good option for a photographer that needs to be really close for a photo in your portfolio.

Norwegian needs some QA/QC. Not sure if Norwegian will be our cruise line in the future. . Did a survey for them, no response yet. They are already trying to solicit another cruis.

overall for my fiance and I's first cruise it was overall great. they need to put a off button on the headboard speaker for people who are not early risers.

Service was wonderful. The only issue with the staff is communication. Shower was way too small and the water pressure was atrocious. Beautiful ship. We could have left out Juneau and added another glacier stop or added Anchorage/Seward.
