I have researched everything i could get my hands on for several years about an alaskan cruise. i finally decided on the fabulous norwegian bliss!!! this was a perfect trip from start to finish. i can’t say enough about this ship and our experience. we purchased the specialty dining and drink package and wouldn’t go any other way now. we also had a balcony room which is a must for alaska. if ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

I was invited by family members, and I was interested in seeing Alaka, so I was happy to be included. Alaska was beautiful and the three shore excursions I chose very well done, though a bit expensive. But there were several issues for me. 1.The worst issue was the disembarkation. It was a nightmare. Trying to get 4000+ people off the ship in a period of 3 hours was unrealistic and the ...

This was our fourth trip on an Alaskan cruise and while it was the newest ship we sailed on, it was a freaking nightmare. We traveled on Norwegian 10 months prior and it was great, but it absolutely was all about the populace on the ship. It was an irritating challenge every time you wanted to eat at the buffet -- so so so many people. Bear in mind this ship holds well more than 4,000 people. Our ...

We loved the Breakaway last year, discovered Haven and didn’t even look at other cruise lines, booked the Bliss for our Alaska trip which we’ve been planning for a while now. Haven was great for embarking, disembarking and to skip the crowds which can be overwhelming. However, it’s exaggerated to the point of misrepresentation. You do get priority with dining but everything else is just ...

Our family really didn't know what to expect for cruising Alaska, but overall NCL Joy and Alaska blew us away! The ship is huge, beautiful, and FUN! And Alaska's scenery is stunning and we were blessed with the most perfect warm and sunny weather! Keeping this review on the brief side, yes, the ship has its crowded areas (mostly the Garden Cafe buffet) and yes, it has a strange pool deck ...

We have been on many cruises. I have sailed on NCL many years ago. This last experience was one of the worst. The food in the restaurants was mediocre. There was an up charge to eat in the better restaurants. Our cell phones couldn’t be used. No reception. We had many people in our group. We couldn’t correspond with others in our group. Water was scarce. We could not bring water in the ship ...

We had been on 2 cruises with Norwegian before to Bermuda and loved the first and liked the second. This one, however wasn’t great, although, Alaska was incredible. The food was mediocre in all complimentary areas, the entertainment was limited and some was a repeat of previous cruises, although the performers were great! We had multiple billing problems before cruise and airline reservations ...

We were first time cruiser with NCL but have traveled on other cruise lines I have to say NCL you do a great job from the start to finish. We went on the Joy to see Alaska and NCL did not disappoint us with the selection of excursions and the ports we visited. I reviewed a lot of the reviews about NCL and the Joy and were just a little apprehensive but I found everything above board so my advice ...

We experienced a laundry list of issues, some which I am sure I am forgetting. There were inconsistent/incorrect answers to questions, service and food are mediocre. I have been on an Royal Caribbean cruise prior to this and it was head and shoulders above this ship service and experience wise. We had to ask multiple times at dinner for drink refills and sometimes they were cleaned up even ...
