I choose this cruise because it went out of Seattle.
While the cruise was great still room for improvement, hot tubs where just luke warm and a few other on board activities other then trivia would be nice. Other wise was great.I would still use NCL again.
Summer palace needs to improve service , while Indigo resturant along with buffet was really good.
Shore excursions where a little on ...
We took a cruise to Alaska 25 years ago on another cruise line and now my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with our son, daughter in law to be, our daughter and her boyfriend on the Norwegian Pearl to Alaska. This was such an unbelievable cruise where everything went perfect from getting on the ship to getting off the ship. The weather was perfect and the staff on the cruise ship ...
I chose this cruise primarily to visit Glacier Bay while there are still glaciers to see. I have cruised with Norwegian before on this class of ship, and enjoy the many venues for music, entertainment, and places to quietly catch up on reading...…. This cruise was remarkable for the quality of the classical music provided by the "Four String Trio". What a delight it was to hear Mozart, ...

Despite the fact that our NCL cruise to Mexico in 2008 on the Star still ranked the worst of our 14 cruises to date, we decided to give NCL another try due to price and convenience on a round trip to Alaska out of Seattle where we live. We traveled with my brother and SIL and I am happy to report that overall, we had an excellent experience. We started by booking an inside and ended up ...
My husband and I sailed with adult family members for this vacation cruise. We left the kids at home to enjoy some time away. I enjoyed the freestyle way of cruising. I liked that we didn't have a schedule and could do what we wanted when we wanted. The Buffet dining was average. I felt like the food was a little bland and the options could use some work (the pizza was terrible). We did make ...
I chose this cruise because Alaska has always this giant land mass separated from the lower 48. i have read about it. I have viewed countless documentaries about it. I have viewed numerous tv shows about it. I decided to do something about it.
The Norwegian Pearl was a great ship. The ship's crew was warm, friendly and helpful.
The food was great. There were plenty of entertainment ...
We haven't been on a cruise in 15 years mostly because I didn't have fond memories of the last one we went on (also a Norwegian cruise), but we wanted to see Alaska and couldn't think of a better way to see it. This has cured me of wanted to go on a cruise again. And, this was not an inexpensive vacation, so it was overall disappointing.
First, I will say the staff and crew work incredibly hard ...
We chose this cruise as we had 12 other family members that were going and my sister had arranged a group rate. I wasn't that excited about the cruise as I am definitely not a water person. I was excited to spend the quality time with family. We live north of Seattle but we had people in our group from all over the United States. Overall, the cruise experience was way better than I ...
I stayed in the Haven, which was decent from a cabin perspective as the upgrades are nice. The upgraded services weren’t really that useful in that the “butler” was a bit slow and difficult to understand, so we didn't engage him often. The concierge was responsive, but I ended up using the IConcierge app for my reservations, etc.
The ports of call (Ketchikan (Alaska); Juneau (Alaska); Skagway ...
This was the first cruise I've ever been to, and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. Starting with the crew - super attentive and obliging. The ship itself was a very cheerful place to be in. The variety of dining was excellent, food was always fresh, the assortment of dishes was simply wonderful - to all tastes. My husband enjoyed the well-equipped gym, and I walked on the deck a lot, marveling ...
