Review summary
An Alaskan cruise has been on the "bucket list" for along time and finally became a reality. We had only been on one previous cruise about 15 years ago, and I don't know if Norwegian is the best cruise line available, but I do know we had a wonderful time and everything about the cruise far exceeded our expectations. The only "hiccup" came at check out time. We booked a more expensive stateroom,, which came with onboard credits. We were told we could use the onboard credits to pay for gratuities, but at check out we found the gratuities were charged separately to my credit card, and I was left with a large balance of unused onboard credit. However, the nice lady at the customer service desk refunded the charge to my credit card, and I walked away a happy Norwegian customer. I would certainly not hestitate to book another Norwegian cruise.

Ship tip
Don't pay for onboard credits up front. Just let them charge your account and pay-up at check out. Unused onboard credits are not refunded, and are lost if you leave with a balance

Some credits are refundable; others aren't. If you have any questions, inquire at the front desk early in the cruise. Thanks for posting your firt review here. Alaska is one of my favorite cruise destinations. I have been there twice. Sounds like you had a great cruise. Don't forget to join in our discussions in the Forum section of this website.
