Review summary

This was an amazing time. I am definitely going to do it again and may add the land portion to it. I really wish NCL would extend port times to make the experience more complete.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Design is good but they are sailing near capacity which led to crowded elevators with sick people.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very comfortable for the most part. I would have like to have a mattress topper to meet the needs of my back due to injury. Room was very clean.

Ship tip

Bring electrical outlet extension. The lights in our cabin had usb feature which is nice for charging.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

4 out of 5
Did my own excursion through Puget Sound tours and Earl was amazing. He ranks in my top 3 tours I have been on.

Sitka, Alaska

4 out of 5
Did whale watching excursion. Which they allowed an extra hour or two. Hard to explore town and do an excursion during time in port.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
My favorite part. Did helicopter with glacier and dogs leading on glacier. All I can say is wow!

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
Absolutely beautiful. Captain did an amazing job navigating and getting us up close. Especially since the Sun had their iceberg incident during the same week we were sailing.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

4 out of 5
Lots to see and do. Did atv excursion and again felt rushed.

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

4 out of 5
Did city tour and loved learning about the city.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Disembarking was a zoo/nightmare. Plus the time in port is at night and not alot to see. They need to revisit their port times and extend them.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Love love love Port Valet. Had a super late return flight and everything was seamless.
