Review summary

Alaska was beautiful! We were lucky that it did not rain at all the whole cruise. It was warm and sunny the whole time. This is very rare. The crew is polite but under staffed. The ports all need a shuttle to access the shopping area. Kudos to NCL for havinng a handicap only elevator during port. I wished other cruise lines did this.

Cabin / Stateroom

The telephone handset did not work and was not replaced after telling front desk and room steward. I shared this room with my son and having the bed split to two single beds made the room more accesible.
