Overall it was a wonderful cruise and experience. There was a lot of time at sea, which became pretty boring at times. I can't say enough about the service on the ship. It was the absolute best!
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Easy. There was a lot of stress surrounding the ArriveCan process. Each person during embarkation asked if we had our receipt, yet I never had to show it. We didn't get off the ship in Victoria.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was very cozy and had a beautiful view. There was much more storage than I was expecting.
Ship tip
If you're not someone that likes art auctions, seminars, stupid games, or to be drunk all day you better bring something to do on sea days.
Not much to do in town. So many commercial jewelry and souvenir shops. We did a whale watching excursion that was AMAZING!!! We booked the excursion through this site.
It's a ghost town!!! Only a couple of restaurants were open. Of course all the jewelry shops were in full swing. Our initial excursion train and bus into Canada was canceled. We booked another excursion that was canceled
So, we hiked around Lower Dewey Lake which was spectacular!
Ketchikan was a fun and hopping city. However, we were only scheduled to be there for 6 hours. NCL has a port that's about a 20 minute bus ride to downtown. The last bus left downtown 2 hours before the ship left! So, we were only able to enjoy the city for a couple of hours. NCL has a lot of kinks to work out with that.
I was on a 14-day cruise aboard Bliss this past January that had 6 days and I always found something to do. I was never bored and I had fun; fortunately I like all the things that you don't, so I had fun! I even "bought" a very nice painting to hang in my friend room. Cheers!
