Norwegian Star

7 Night Alaska & Sawyer Glacier (Seattle Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 08, 2007

Ship: Norwegian Star

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Cleanliness and housekeeping were great! White color of ship is clean and elegant, but stars and other pictures around ship are a bit tacky. Elevators, as stated above, were quite inadequate. Ship was fairly well laid out, but sometimes you had to retrace steps and go around because of "crew only" areas.

Ports of call

Skagway, Alaska

The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad was a good and informative trip, but too expensive. We should have waited and boarded when we arrived instead of booking ahead.
Don't Miss: ?

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

There was really not much to see here, other than a clean regular town. By myself, I would have liked it, but our party wanted more of the cruise line-owned shops like in most of the other ports.
Don't Miss: ?

Juneau, Alaska

The Mt. Roberts Tram was very good, because of unusually good weather.
Don't Miss: ?

Ketchikan, Alaska

We took a "Dolly's Trolley" tour after we landed. It was fine and the shops and amenities were fine.

Pros: White, clean, very well maintained ship. Cleanliness and housekeeping were immaculate!

Cons: Elevators! Too few; too long of waits; very inadequate! I mostly ran up and down stairs, because it was much faster. In another 50 years, I probably won't be able to do that.....
