US....

My wife and I are in our mid-seventies.....middle class I suppose.

This was a 'look back' cruise. Our very first cruise was to Alaska on the Norwegian Spirit back in '05. We considered it our best cruise and is still rated at the top (11 cruises so far). Our last five cruises were with RCL and so decided to try NCL again. In all we have sailed NCL five times and five with RCL and one time with Carnival. (Never again)

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Inside

Cabin IA

Nice cabin with a large shower area. Two singles together make a nice King for sleeping.

Housekeeping crew were buried with cabins to clean and as such our cabin was seldom made up before two in the afternoon...

Closer to the forward elevators

Port Reviews

Seattle

Beautiful city to explore

Ketchikan

Fun place to walk around.................Hungry? Don't miss having the halibut at Alava's Fish.....a local hangout and for a reason........best halibut ever. Right across for the main cruise docks. Ask anyone to get you there........open's at eleven in the morning..

Juneau

Very walkable............Check out Mendenhall glacier..........you'll need a ride...

Skagway

Total tourist trap yet still fun to walk around. If your not taking the train (well worth the price) go to the south end of the main drag and on the right side you'll find the Skagway brewing company.........great beer and halibut grub...
