Norwegian Pearl

7 Night Alaska & Glacier Bay (Seattle Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 09, 2010

Ship: Norwegian Pearl

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

The ship was rather new. It had good amenities and all the public areas were clean and well maintained. I would recommend it to other people as I heard it has the best itinerary for the Alaskan trip. However, it would have not been my first choice if my priority was luxury.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food selection at the buffet was average. The main dining was very convenient to access (free style dining - anytime) but sometimes the food was not superb. We enjoyed lobster night and the staff doesn't seem to care if you ask for seconds! We also enjoyed very much the sushi bar and ate there several times, but there is a cover charge for this and the other specialty restaurants.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I think the train is overrated. It was nice, but not my favorite port of the trip.

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau is really nice.
Don't Miss: Dogsledding was incredible! Overpriced but worth the experience
