Review summary

Except for the horrible embarkation, this was the best cruise experience we have ever had. I would highly recommend NCL, my next cruise will definitely be with them.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

I must say that NCL has the absolute worst embarkation process of any cruise I've ever taken.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

All of our dining experiences were great. NCL focused on good food and good service unlike some other cruise lines that seem to equate quantity of food with quality of food. Kudos to NCL!

Pouring rain in Ketchikan so our tour was canceled, didn't matter since we enjoyed wandering around town. Everyone we encountered was really friendly.

Hard to get on, but pleasurable once aboard. NCL will be happy with your return soon.
