Alaska Cruise Reviews

The cruise was wonderful! The only criticism would be having too little time in Ketchikan and Victoria.

I really enjoyed the cruise. I was definitely one of the younger people there at 26 and since I went by myself I spent a good amount of time at the bar exploiting the 15 drinks a day drink package hahaha. But I was pleasantly surprised to find some of the best bartenders I have ever had the pleasure to be served by. I had my spots that I posted up at and started to be familiar with the amazing staff on board. The seated options for food that are included were great! 5 days is just long enough to feel like a vacation but not long enough for your health to stay suffering from all the booze and good food 😊

Not delivered what advertised. The menu offers vast choices of alcohol. All my orders of drinks priced $18 which are covered by my alcohol package were declined or cancelled. Instead offered $10-$12 substitution. It is cheating. This part was greatly disappointing.

Lucky cruisers! The weeks prior to our cruise showed rain, wind and cold weather in Alaska. We were ready for it, but got a great surprise all week long. One of the first days had clouds and wind, so we didn't get much deck time. The rest of the week offered either great sunny deck time or sunny excursions. The crew was gracious, polite and helpful, and they did all they could to make our trip as memorable as possible. Entertainment was fun, food was delicious -- pizza, burgers, tacos, hot and cold beverages on deck -- and the bartenders made us feel like family. What more can a person ask for on vacation?

This was the third Alaska cruise we've taken. It was to be a prelude to our connection through to Hawai'i. The day before the cruise, RCCL notified us our Hawai'i leg was cancelled. Apparently, the Jones act prohibits foreign flagged vessels from departing from, and arriving to, a US port. It didn't matter it was 2 cruises with a stop in Vancouver... They wouldn't let us go. So... Alaska was all we had. I would do it again. The more we visit, the more we find we want to see the next time.

Fantastic ship, fantastic itinerrary, Alaska is amazing and must do.

The Alaska cruise has must see scenery, the excursions are interesting and support a spectrum of activities. Ovation of the Seas and her crew made this trip most enjoyable.

Did not meet expectations. Did not see glaciers, the namesake of cruise, and, unlike previous cruises, was not compensated for change in itinerary. Was not given alternate opportunity to see glaciers as most excursions were booked by the time we were notified of the changes. Very disappointed to miss the major attraction of this cruise.

In summation going on a cruise titled Dawes Glacier Cruise and Not going there was VERY disappointing. Almost seems like they owe us an experience. For this I could not recommend this cruise to friends.

Great cruise. Small ship. Easy to disembark and embark on ports of call.

Love Alaska enjoyed the cruise I was with my boyfriend and it was awesome with him it was is first cruise

I will definitely vacation on Norwegian Cruise Line again

Really missed being able to take the White Pass Railroad excursion in Skagway, due to the engine not functioning at full capacity.

Cruise was great once we got on the ship. Wasn't happy with the itinerary change due to engine issues. Didn't get to cruise the glaciers or visit Skagway. Ports also seemed kind of rushed as a result. But overall we had a great time.

Great trip with beautiful scenery...whale watching and Glaciers!

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise as well as the 7 day Authentic Alaska Tour prior to the cruise. Recommend it highly. The scenery, flora and fauna in fall was breathtaking!

Very Clean every where, Food was amazing everyday. Crew are nice and diligent. The last day's cakes were fantastic. I'd like to express my sincere thanks.

I think everything was just way too expensive. We ended up having to pay an additional $1000 for everything but that was totally unexpected. This the first time on Norwegian but it will definitely be our last

It was a very enjoyable cruise as we’ve the Alaskan inside passage 12 years ago

Everything was great except internet. I bring my work with me and the poor connectivity made it unable for me to work. The app also needs work the scrolling feature is bad. And the timeline is pretty but bad for trying to figure out events. A duplicate of the patter would be better.
