We had a great time, as we have for all our Alaska cruises. We got to visit with our daughter before the cruise (she lives in Alaska).
Embarkation
5 out of 5
There was a little wait after arrival for the ship to clear. Once they cleared, we were escorted through the Haven line and right onboard the ship.

Ship tip
This is our second ship in the Jewel class, and we like the smaller ships. Even without all the bells and whistles, it might be worth taking the chance and booking one. Or you can leave the room to us. :)
We went whale watching here. We didn't see much of the whales, except a couple blowing air through their spouts. But we did see some stellar sea lions on a haul-out.
We were escorted off the ship and straight through the luggage area. The porter saw that we had a scooter and arranged for a transfer voucher for us and got us a taxi to the airport, so we didn't have to wait for the NCL transfer.
Glad you had a great time on your cruise. Agree about the smaller ships, one of my most enjoyable cruises with by far the best itinerary was on one of the smaller NCL ships (the Star).
