Review summary

Generally, it is a good cruise trip for families, very comfortable and relax. The Embarkation Scenic Cruise Train from the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport to the Seward cruise ship dock is wonderful. It is very convenient for people arriving the Anchorage International Airport.  But the food in "Garden Café" is not as good as other NCL cruise ships. The service in pay restaurant is not good because they know 18% tip would been automatically taken from your account, I think.  Unfortunately, we missed Cruise Sawyer Glacier due to bad weather. Alaska does not look like 10 years ago due to global warm weather.

Yes,I heard this before about global warming affecting thr glaciers in Alaska.  My sister was disappointed in her trip here.  Maybe I should not plan on returning so as not to be disappointed.  I remember the glaciers being so wonderful on my trip 12 years ago.
