Review summary

The most perfect trip to the most perfect place! We loved Norwegian Spirit’s small size, big style, and the stunning vistas of Alaska. As perfect a cruise as I have ever experienced.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation in Vancouver was extremely quick and efficient. Skytrain to gangway in under 10 minutes!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We had consistently great food. Standouts were dinners in Taste and at Onda. Super yummy, and not a single dish came out cold!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There could have been more activities through the afternoon of our one day at sea, but the activities that were there were excellent, especially the Newlywed game show. Cruise Director Jerry was great!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We saw a different show every night and each was stunning! We especially loved World Beat’s dancers and Duo Forte’s acrobatics.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch staff, always smiling, attentive, and eager to please. Best crew ever!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Spirit was the smallest ship I have sailed in 22 cruises, and it quickly became my favorite. The layout is easy to understand, and the refurbishment of the ship makes everything look stunning and brand new. Loved it!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved having an ocean view on the same deck as the atrium and theater. Super easy to access everything onboard. Room was clean, and the bathroom was an excellent set up, with separate shower and toilet areas, super uncommon in a standard room.

Ship tip

Utilize the many different outdoor decks to get the best views. Spirit has many vantage points across the ship.
