Make reservations for everything, be prepared for crowds & noise. Bring ear plugs. Wonder what the decibals were?

Note: Racetrack and Laser Tag WILL be an EXTRA charge. This is NOT clearly noted when I booked my cruise for 14 people.

Make sure you get the drink package and specialty dining package. Restaurants were not rowdies at all. We went with group of twenty and every day we walked in there were room. We did make reservations emailing their group bookings about month in advance to make sure al 20 of us got in at the same table.

The forward elevators can get busy! If you dont like waiting, we found walking to the aft elevators was worth it and we often got the elevator to ourselves!

Not too many outdoor/deck area activities on this ship except water slides. Couple other activities e.g. speedway and laser tag ones were subject to extra charge. Too many additional restaurants were subject to extra charges as well.

Ship was great! Disappointed with Icy Strait. Get off ship and enjoy, waterfront, good music and food.Do not go into town- nothing there. A waste of $5.00. Do not see tribal show. Promised 45 minute show, maybe 20 minutes. Three person show. Highlights- Great shopping and exploring in Ketchikan . Don’t forget map at visitor center. Best prices Sockeye Sam who will hold purchases while you shop other stores. Lots of salmon spawning. Juneau -shopped and went to Mendenhall Glacier. $45 dollar bus ride to glacier. Victoria-whale watching with Orca Spirit Adventures. Zodiac Boat, ( fast boat, riding the waves) we seen sea lions and whales. Great video, got a fin!! It was great. $194.00 US dollars for two. Make sure to bring credit card with no Foreign transaction fees. Great job NCL.

Make sure you take advantage of their port valet service! They take your bags from your room and check you into your flight and check your bags to your home airport! Hands free and no charge at all. All you pay is the regular bag fee from your airline. It was SO nice and convenient!!! We were skeptical and super pleased!!

Book a smaller ship if you want to enjoy any time you spend on it or if you like food.

Definitely book a balcony room

The forward viewing lounge is exceptional on this ship. Peaceful and tranquil and clean. An excellent place to spend some quiet time, it was much larger than we expected.

The itinerary is short (only a few hours in Juneau), Ketchikan was short,and Icy Strait Point/Victoria too long.

Find quiet places on the ship (there are several) to remove yourself from the crowds and truley relax.

Alaska go early in the year. We just missed the Norther Lights and had much fog people were made to cxl their air excursions, and we missed out on a glacier view.

Book an earlier show.

DONT pay extra $$$ for Haven! Notified Restaurant was closed 2 days before cruise. Lied to about having dedicated elevators (only had for disembarkation).
RickRicciardi
Take advantage of the restaurants!
