Review summary

Loved this cruise on the Norwegian Jewel.  The best excursion by far was the Whale watching and Mendenhall Glacier.  We saw several Humpbacks and saw one breach 4 times!  We also enjoyed the train ride in Skagway and walking around there and in Ketchikan.  

 

We loved the Jewel and had would recommend a starboard balcony cabin to catch all of the beautiful scenery and many photo ops. The staff on the Jewel were friendly and helpful.  Choice of eating venues and quality of food was excellent compared to other cruise lines we've been on.

Only suggestion is to have a pay per view movie channel for those times you just want to hang out in the cabin in the evening or on days at sea. The movie channel that is there is limited and shows the same movie(s) repeatedly.

Whale watching and trip to Mendenhall glacier is great. Unfortunately the ship left as soon as we returned from the excursion so we didn't have a chance to see the town.

Skagway, Alaska
