Review summary

Such a spectacular cruise. I loved seeing so many snow capped mountains.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. Boarding was a little late due to extra sanitizing of the ship, but I didn’t mind the wait.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food on Norwegian was very good. Lots of variety in the buffet, and the main dining rooms were elegant and the food and service were very good.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

Everyone was pleasant and efficient.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the Observation Lounge. It was very easy to find venues.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size of the cabin was great, especially after I had the bed split. Loved the bathroom space. The closet was roomy. Only design challenge was the safe and shelves in the closet, and that was just a minor inconvenience.

Ship tip

I was aft and the buffet and observation lounge were forward and kind of a long walk. So I packed my backpack with my mornings activities so I could go from the buffet on 16 to the observation lounge on 15. That way I could spend the morning or most of the day forward.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

4 out of 5
Good excursion including the Space needle and Pike Place and ending at the airport.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Mendenhall Glacier and Gardens was a very good tour.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

3 out of 5
Didn’t get that close and it occurred during dinner

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
Nice port. We rode the gondola to the top of the mountain and also to the shopping area. Short day but fun.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Very pretty town. Did the Duck tour. Tour guide and driver were very funny and informative and we saw Ketchikan from water and land.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Too late in the evening.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We used port valet to take bags to airport and had an excursion scheduled which ended at the airport. So no complaints.
