Review summary

Alaska was amazing and everyone on the ship was great and nice. The issues were with the website, app, WiFi, etc. we felt like we were being charged extra for everything and not given the full story about what charges there would be. Just be warned. For example we upgraded our WiFi with the understanding the promotional credit we got would be used toward the few. That wasn’t true. Also our friends who booked direct through Norwegian were treated so much better and got s better price than us (who booked through United)

Embarkation

1 out of 5

The embarkation was fine. I found out I was separated from my traveling party once on board and given a room in a location that was not where I originally booked.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Good was great. Buffet was a mad house to stay away if you don’t like crowds. Specialty dining was amazing.

Onboard Activities

Nickel and dimes for EVERYTHING. Even shows were a charge.

Footloose and Elements are free. There is a cost for Wine Lovers but I don't know the amount. Anyone out there who knows the cost.

The only show that I know of that is an up charge is the wine lovers comedy show. Too bad you were treated differently. That doesn’t sound to good of Norwegian.

What shows were an up charge? I know Wine Lovers is but I thought Footloose and Elements were free.
