7-night cruse to Alaska with happy family of all ages
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We got there early and waited for other members of our family to arrive, during which we saw the lines ebb and flow every half hour or so, and there was a noticeable difference. The staff on the way in was so attentive and kind. The process was really quick!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Yes, some other reviews said that the food was bad, so I was nervous, but the food was all great! The garden cafe was HUGE and delicious, as were all of the main dining rooms. The pub was a bit loud as they had a game show going on but the specialty sweets restaurant was nice, and the crepes were delicious. Everything was pretty much great!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The laser guns and race track was very fun! We went to Alaska so the pools weren’t used much… but overall great! My favorite part was the observation lounge which was sooo calm and peaceful with great views!
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I only saw Six but it was AMAZING. My favorite musical of all time!! Do make sure to get there 15-30 minutes in advance to get a seat near the front.
The comedian wasn’t great, personally.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
My daughter went to the teen center, which she loved! They took trips to do laser guns and racing, as well as just hanging out in the center. She got her new friends “phone numbers” from the Norwegian app and met up with them around the ship. They had activities that were apparently fun!(and teens can be so hard to please)
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward was so kind, chatting with us whenever we saw her. Our room was pristine every day. The waiters/waitresses were so quick and kept dietary needs in mind! The other staff around the ship were polite and attentive too.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Not much to say… very clean and nice layout. There were hardly any lines which was fortunate
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We originally booked a standard ocean view but were upgraded to this room for free! It was a very, VERY spacious version of an ocean view, sadly I don’t have any pictures. The bed was a Murphy bed style rather than a Pullman bed
Ship tip
Buy the chat option on the Norwegian app. Sure, it seems unnecessary, but it allowed our whole family to talk without having to pay for internet or hunt each other down.
This was the SMOOTHEST disembarkation I and everyone else in my party had ever experienced. There was absolutely NO LINE all the way off and took less than half an hour or so!
