NCL Pearl does a 10 night cruise to the inside passage and is the first cruise ship to start the season off. The ports and sights are something else and a must see for everyone that has not been there. We believe that Norwegian are great value for what you pay. The crew and staff are very helpful and nothing is a problem for them. Washy, washy is everywhere and they should be commended for making sure that passengers wash their hands prior to entering the buffet and main dining room. The food in all of the areas on the ship was very good, as with all cruises the shore excursions were expensive. The entertainment and lectures about Alaska was very good. Our cabin steward made sure that we had a clean cabin at all times. Embarkation and disembarkation was a breeze. All in all Norwegian is a great cruise company.
