Barely could get off ship and had to get back on. There was a huge line to be taken back to the ship

The only reason Norwegian stops there is because they have to stop in an international port. So again, we barely got off the ship and had to get back on.

That was one thing that was great they took our bags straight to the airport and we didn't have to touch them

I'm really sorry you did not enjoy your cruise. My husband and I have taken NCL and have always had a very pleasurable experience.

I agree with NCL suites. They are not comparable to other lines.

I’ve never read a review or met anyone who said Glacier Bay wasn’t what they expected!

Interesting how the other reviews for the same cruise were great. Makes me think you should probably stick to Carnival.

Was on the same cruise and none of that happened to us except the whale watching in Juneau. That was disappointing. Skagway was amazing, went to the Klondike and Ketchikan we had enough time to catch a lumberjack show, and go check out a village.

Not sure if you’ve been on any other cruises or cruise lines, but everything you described happens on any cruise line not just Norwegian.
