Review summary

Great time. Would cruise with Norwegian again. The crew was great, accommodations were good, ship was not too big, shows and choice of excursions was great. I loved the way you could plan the trip and pay for extras before going. Helped spread the cost out but also did not have to make plans during the trip. I have not been on a cruise for a number of years so this was new to me but the website and updates were a real great perk.

Rooms were good, we did not do formal dining. The buffet was ok, I'm not a buffet person, but my husband is. We did dine one one night in the Bar and Grill and it was very good

Ketchikan, Alaska

We just walked around. Do the city walking tour from the visitor center. You really saw a alot of the tourist stuff but also the neighborhoods

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
We did a bike tour to the Mendenhall Glazier. It was great and was not too hard so anyone that rides could do it.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
We did the Ghost and Lady of the Night walking tour. It was good and gave a lot of history.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
This was really cool. Wear layers because it gets cold but he ship gets really close to the glaciers and stays there for quite awhile.

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

5 out of 5
Also very cool. Cold again but got to get pretty close

Seward (Anchorage), Alaska

5 out of 5
I was a little disappointed in Anchorage as a city, but the train ride from Seward to Anchorage was a real highlight. The train has a glass bubble so you see glaciers, wildlife, the mountains, a bay with whales. The train staff was great and really knew the area and the history. This is a MUST do if you do this cruise.
