Review summary

I would recommend this cruise for anyone interested in going to Alaska. The only people who I see not enjoying would be smokers. I absolutely will cruise NCL again. This was my first cruise with them and I was extremely satisfied with them.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Savor was my favorite main dining room. We had speciality dining plan and ate at The Q which was a BBQ restaurant with live country singers. My favorite by far. Also had Cagney steakhouse food was delicious and ate at Teppanyaki food was delicious. Never left hungry for sure!

Cabin / Stateroom

Size for junior suite was very small compared to the suites I get on Royal Caribbean ships. Beds were very comfortable and room was extremely clean.

Ship tip

If you are a smoker (which I am not) we sailed with a smoker and there are very limited smoke areas and casino is smoke free. They do have small smoker casino section on 7th floor
