I can't wait to go next year! Yes, you take a chance with the end of season stormy weather but the prices are terrific, less crowds make it relaxing and the service was fabulous!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Never had a bad meal - choices were excellent, portions and presentation were perfect

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I didn't do any of these things

Entertainment

3 out of 5
If you like game shows (Bingo, Trivia, Deal or No Deal) you'd be fine - production shows in Stardust extremely lacking

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Superb, attentive staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was spotless! Being a small ship it's easy to get around but some elvators don't go to some floors, a little strange

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This room excellent, but only 1 US plug ... bring a power stip.

Ship tip

Get a map as soon as you get on board.

Ports of call

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

Cruise Glacier Bay

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
October is the last of the Whale Watching season but HARV & MARV'S WHALE WATCHING TOURS was amazing - Captain Michael was spectacular, he had the BEST eyes for sighting the spouts and because it was end of season it wasn't crowded so he could maneuver us quickly!

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5

Victoria, British Columbia

5 out of 5
Dues to a bad storm we were told we would not be able to visit Victoria but the NCL Captain maneuvered us around the weather and while we arrived LATE, we were able to do a nighttime tour and it was beautiful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
BEST, BEST, BEST ever! Thank you captain for allowing everyone carrying their own luggage to disembark as soon as the ship was cleared! I wish we had a later flight because the FREE valet directly to the airline was a FABULOUS arrangement!
