Review summary

We really enjoyed Alaska and the beautiful scenery. The ship was very clean and the staff were great. We were a little disappointed in Norwegian. We have only sailed Royal Caribbean prior to this cruise and we preferred the overall experience on RC.

Very clean common and private areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

The bathroom was excellent. The rest of the room was cramped. The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were worn out.

Take your own pillow and get to the observation deck early for the best views.

The most disappointed stop. We arrived late and had less than 3 hours in port after dark. We could have skipped Icy straight and spent the time here to enjoy a great city.

Were they doing the 80’s Party onboard during this sailing? We are going on the Bliss October 15 and was wondering. Thanks!
