Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
room has the pool overhead, we had a pool filter leak and ended up with a fan in our room for 2 days drying the floor. also the bed is up against the wall to get to the balcony..

the captain did a great job for his first time at that glacier, he had the ship do a complete circle so everyone can see it all!!

Seward (Anchorage), Alaska

2 out of 5
took the train to the Anchorage airport, which had to be better than a bus ride, but they loaded the passengers that were going to the convention center first, first stop airport??

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
they had staff holding directions to you luggage the whole way, then we had to check in for the flight, just a big rush.

I always take a baggie with me so i can carry a cookie or three to the airport on the bus. Just seems like something might delay me from getting my calories. I know what you went through, you made it...rest up and i hope to see you at Sea!!

That was sure a nice response from NCL. Super polite. They must have gotten you the flight arrangements in time... Aren't all beds up against a wall? Not sure that can be a complaint.
