Review summary

Everyone was so friendly and we really loved the freestyle relaxed atmosphere with NCL. The food was really good in the buffet where we mostly ate but we enjoyed Sheehans availability late night. Junaeu excursions had issues so we missed the city, we didn't  want that to happen in Skagway so we wanted to cancel an excursion. At first they said no only if they could find a buyer, it was past the cancellation deadline. We skipped the excursion anyway and when we were ready to finalize they refunded our money. Made the experience even better knowing they cared about our expectations. Our stateroom attendant Newman, was great, loved my towel critters.
