Review summary

Really like Norwegian cruise, good handicapped rooms. Will not return to Alaska on board Norweigian or not in a large vessel. Will not use Seattle as a departure port.

Will never go out of the Seattle cruise port again. A nightmare

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Went to all major shows. Six had a lot of repetitive music. Enjoyed Jersey boys (but a little long). Beatles Experience ???? Out of this world , GREAT. A lot of "empty" space in the day. Our times in port were severely cut and limited. Even the shore vendors were surprised. My niece did enjoy all of her wine tastings and pairings.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent, attentive, friendly

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Always clean and spotless. The observation lounge area is genius. Not enough space in atrium for some of the venues that were presented there

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I think the handicap design on Norwegian is the best.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

1 out of 5
Didn't get to see due to ice

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

3 out of 5
Was able to go into port. Visited the gift shop/museum. No restuarants were open because of scheduled time in port. Liked that both the transporter and the gondola were scooter friendly

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

2 out of 5
Finally!!!! was able to go to port after pitching a fit and demanding that what I had been promised was realized. BUT, had to ride the transport immediately back to ship. No time in port for sightseeing such as the totem, the forest museum, the native American museum, creek street, NOTHING.

Victoria, British Columbia

1 out of 5
Had handicap shuttles. Did NOT drop off in front of empress hotel but several blocks short. Dark....how do you see the supposedly beautiful gardens???

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Fast and easy
