Review summary

Overall the experience was what I like to call a "REAL Vacation" so all in all it was worth saving up for this cruise. I dont have to drive, or cook, or clean. Thats a real vacation! Not to mention Alaska was so beautiful. The Staff and crew were so friendly, they actually made the whole trip for me! I will definitely book Norwegian Cruise Lines again.

Everything was fantastic- a bit pricey- but worth the fun and relaxation.

Onboard Activities

There was lots of things to choose from- I just wish there were more fun(free) activities included on the boat.

Entertainment

The shows were one of the highlights! The aerial artists were amazing, and I loved the Legends of Rock show!

Hands down the staff stole the show- They are so hard working, friendly, and dedicated!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
100% amazing- The staff and crew work tirelessly to keep this ship in great shape, and it shows!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Part of the reason I picked this ship- was because the rooms looked calming and comfortable- That is exactly what we got. 100% satisfied guest.

Ship tip

The prices for the cruise itself are great- Just be prepared to pay for a lot of other things on the ship. There is also a per person- perday service charge that will be added to your bill (which I assume is standard) which can rack up a hefty bill the day you disembark from the boat.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

Juneau, Alaska

Skagway, Alaska

I loved talking to the locals at this stop. Beautiful!

Ketchikan, Alaska

3 out of 5
This was my least favorite stop in all the Alaska Ports. It just seems so repetitive when you see all the same stores you just saw at the last stop.

Victoria, British Columbia

1 out of 5
This was the only Port I had any real issues with- We did not arrive until 6 PM- The map we were given on the ship had listed a couple of different places to visit as a HIGHLIGHT inside Canada- that were already CLOSED- when we got there- It was kind of a bummer

Was this your first cruise? How could you not know of the taxes, tips, and fees per person per day? As most companies try to make their product look less expensive they separate charges that are beyond their control or are a choice like tips.

You picked a terrific location for a cruise. Your review reads that you not only picked Alaska, but a cruise line that satisfied your cruise dreams.
