Review summary

All I can say is GO! Alaska is a wonderland, and Norwegian is a nice way to see it...if they would fine-tune a few things. Just eliminate Victoria, because there's not enough time in the two last ports. Don't use priority embarkation. It's a waste. Loved the food, drinks and entertainment.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

I paid for the priority embarkation and it was not worth it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Loved the food and drinks! I was disappointed with our specialty dining. You're brewery, the bartenders and entertainment were great. So many choices that we never could think about being bored.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I didn't use them...too cold for water activities, but that's not why I went on the cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Ryan North was awesome, and The Choir of Man was a highlight.
