We have never been "cruise people". Never had any desire but, this year, instead of Europe, we wanted to stay in the states but, find something unique. It just so happened that this year several people mentioned that one of their favorite holidays was an Alaskan cruise. So, we chose to finally try a cruise and Alaska was unique enough! Well, we absolutely loved it! NCL was great. I expected a nightmare on embarkation but, in fact, it was quick and efficient. We actually took the train ride from Anchorage to Seward which was arranged by NCL. So, we got off the train, there was a short walk to the ship and from the port to the inside of the ship was probably about 20 minutes! They kept everything moving.

We had a family ocean view picture window room. Our two kids, ages 16 and 18 shared the room with us which was surprisingly accommodating. We had a double bed to share, my son used the top bunk and my daughter had the pull out sofa which was also a double, once opened. There was still space to walk around with a desk and plenty of cupboard/ closet space for our clothes. It would have been nice to have a slightly bigger shower though. Otherwise, the bathroom was fine.

The man who took care of our room was very efficient and had such a warm personality. He always had a smile, asked if we needed anything extra, would make sure our room was very well put together, make order of our bathroom and supply us with plenty of fresh towels. He definitely helped make our cruise special with well wishes as we left and a greeting upon arrival back. Actually, everyone who was staff was welcoming and personable from the greeters, to the entertainers to the restaurant staff.
