Very impressed with the ship cleanliness, and the entire staff. The food by and large was great whether it was in the upscale restaurants or the regular ones. Even the buffet had great food.

Very smooth. Took a rapid antigen test, passed it, and was on the ship in a very short time.

As it was in October, and it was a trip to Alaska, the pools got basically no use. However, we did walk over 12,000 steps a day to offset the massive caloric intake that we had.
Entertainment

The Beatles tribute band was fantastic, as well as choir of man, and the late night comedy show
Service and Staff

Five star all the way. From our room steward to the bartenders to the washy washy people to the servers. They are also happy to be back to cruising.

Absolutely wonderful, loved the bed and the bedding on the Norwegian encore.
Typical small tourist trap. I'm not thrilled the way NCL parks their ships way out of town to save a few dollars. I don't like having to take a 30-minute ride each way to go to a port where other cruise ships are already docked at.
Super easy and super fast. We used the Port of Seattle port valet service. Put our bags out the night before disembarkation, and they were waiting for us when we got off the airplane to our destination.
