Review summary

It was a fun cruise. We did many on board activities. We didn't have enough time to enjoy more. I would recommend to book an earlier show if you are not a night person. Good luck and enjoy your cruise.

We had a balcony. I would pay extra to get fresh air in my room. Well, we did not get any towel animals at all. We used to get at least one in other Norwegian cruiseships.

Ship tip

Book an earlier show.

Another beautiful day. We don't get to shop in many places but just the gift shops in the pier. We toured around town but unfortunately we did get chances to step out of our horse rides. It was a different experience than last time we visited the beautiful garden.

We joined a bus tour in Seattle on the day we flied back to JFK because our flight was in the afternoon. We were happy to take this tour than sat in the airport for a few hours. The price is worth ot. Highly recommend it.

This is the second time we joined Alaska cruise. The first one was with another cruise line. We had great view of glaciers last time. Before we joined this time, we were told there were none left. Thanks to the cruise captain. We were able to get to same spot as last time. We saw the same glaciers but with less remained. Global warming... We have a lot to do to save our world...

It was a beautiful day in here. Again, people were very friendly. We visited mote local shops. We learnt a lot more history during gold rushes time. God bless those people lost their lives in there. May their souls rest eternally.

It was another rainy day. We planned to have some hiking but had to cancel it. We still enjoyed some local shopping and free salmon tasting. The one that we liked had to be kept frozen, so we didn't buy any though. We planned to find more options in Skaway.

It was a rainy day when we were there, but we can't complain about the mother nature. We had some fun by walking and taking pictures in the rain. People were very nice in there. We visited most of the shops in there.
