Review summary

The whole cruise was handled excellently by the crew & staff. The on-board entertainment was excellent. We were kept well informed about all aspects of our location, ports of call and other spectacular viewing ops that we cruised past.  I would recommend this cruise to anyone (just suggest the northbound route so that you see the best sights near the end). Take a good camera & a lot of SD cards - not just a cell-phone or tablet camera. Norwegian's style of "Free Style" cruising is the only way to go - allows you to relax and do things as you want, fit your cruise to you in stead of you having to fit into the cruise.

To be the state capital it is somewhat disappointing - Don't take any of the tours to Mendenhall Glacier, you can take a shuttle from town to the same visitor's center for only $30 per person

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Best port of call of the whole trip - make time to just walk around town

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Have your camera ready & be ready to be amazed - the rear of the ship is the best viewing location

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

5 out of 5
Again, have your camera ready & be ready to be amazed - the rear of the ship is the best viewing
