I enjoyed the cruise. I like NCL style of dining and the number of restaurants to choose from when they are open. Alaska is beautiful and worthy of many trips to enjoy. The biggest regret is in not doing more research on how long you are in port. This itinerary has very short port stays 3-6 hours max. I would find a ship the has longer stays in port.
Embarkation

We stayed at the Marriott across from pier 66. Nice hotel easy to 100 yard walk to the embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
I generally like the food on NCL. Just found on this cruise that it was limited. Limited in variety and limited in when it was available. The house of 10 am to 11:30. And 2:30 to 4:30 very limited offerings. Actually impossible at times.

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Sad to say the ships team were so busy and I felt under staffed they didn’t seem to have time to stop and chat so nobody really stood out to as.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very clean
Cabin / Stateroom
1 out of 5
I like the cabin design with the couch next to the sliding door. Appreciate the ability to get a coffee make in your cabin on NCL.
Ship tip
Be prepared for over 4000 people onboard. It’s a lot and at times can be crowded around the elevators
Yes you will see homeless people and encampments. Overall a normal site these days in cities. pike place marking and the space needle ares are a must see.
Was not prepare for the lack of organization on NCLs part. Stood in line for over an hour trying to get off the ship didn’t not have enough buses to transport people to the airport so had to wait. Some people missed flights because of it. If your flights before 2 pm good luck.
Appreciate your detailed feedback. Nice to know that your next Alaska visit needs more research on your part and hope you find a line that can offer what you need. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
