Ship tip

Book shore excursions early. Don’t be afraid to walk instead of the NCL shuttles. Juneau and Hoonah was amazing to just walk and explore. Rented a car on Turo app in Juneau and was amazing!

Get a seat in the District Bar and you will not regret it! It’s on the deck where you can access the bow and go see the sights for a few and come back to your party home base!
