Review summary

Overall we are VERY dissatisfied with our trip, I can see the exact same trip on sale now for $899 per person w/Balcony and drink package where we paid $2600 per person w/Balcony - I actually blame our travel agent or that Cheap Cruises. THE FOOD ON THE CRUISE WAS TERRIBLE AND CAUSED MUCH DIGESTIVE DISCOMFORT DURING THE TRIP!!!

Embarkation

Even if you show up at the time they schedule it does not get you on the boat any faster or easier than people showing up much later.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

WORST food that I have ever had even the specialty dining.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
These were fun but since I was ALWAYS hungry it made them not as much fun!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The entertainment was nothing extraordinary but did kill some time.

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

Photo's on line showed it as MUCH bigger than it actually was.

Ship tip

Make sure you purchase the Specialty Meal Package because their "Complimentary" food it TERRIBLE!!!

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

1 out of 5
We showed up 1 1/2 days early to make sure we made the Cruise. We had more fun in Seattle than we did at any port after getting on the boat. THIS HAD NOTHIN TO DO WITH Norwegian!!

Sitka, Alaska

1 out of 5
Best Port we stopped in had plenty of time and the port had plenty of neat things to see. FOOD ON BOAT WAS TERRIBLE!!!! AND COLD.

Skagway, Alaska

1 out of 5
Enjoyed this stop had proper amount of time to walk the town, eat and drink. We actually ate food that tasted good and digested correctly. FOOD ON BOAT WAS TERRIBLE!!!! AND COLD.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

1 out of 5
Weather was bad lots of clouds (not the ships fault) but still got some good pictures.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

1 out of 5
We spent 12 hours in a port that only needed 2 hours to WALK through - I believe this is because Norwegian has a mile long Zip-line not because the port deserves it.

Juneau, Alaska

1 out of 5
This was a good stop and we had sufficient time to walk the town and eat. FOOD ON BOAT WAS TERRIBLE!!!! AND COLD.

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

1 out of 5
We were VERY much looking forward to this stop but due to staying 12 hours in Icy Straits we were only able to spend 4 hours at this port and with the excursion that we pre-purchased we could not even go into town. THIS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Disembarkation

$2600 per person? Seriously, who would pay that without checking prices?

I was on the spirit 8/5, while the food was just okay. Everything about your review,I found the complete opposite. The ship, ports, everything excellent
