This is my second, and most likely last NCL cruise. The first was the Pride of America in Hawaii. It was fantastic. I can't say enough good stuff about it. This Alaska cruise, completely opposite. I have been on 4 Caribbean cruises with Carnival and will go again in January.

We, 3 adults ages from 45 to 65, took the land and sea tour. Land tour gets all stars. Sea, not so much. It started when we walked on board to an awful turpitine smell. Then the worst sewage smell on desk 6. It was awful and lingered the whole trip. The chemical scents started to invade the different deck levels. It was either the chemical smell or the sewage smell. I'm so happy we had a balcony, we kept the door open as much as possible.

The service in the dining rooms were awful. Super slow, like they were all in training. They were all nice, professional and polite. But service was slow.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BC

Cabin was great. I choose it to be near the aft stairway. 2 floors down, took us to the theater and shopping, 2 floors up tot the Garden Cafe and Sports bar. It was way too cold to swim, though a brave few did. The location was perfect. And not too much noise.
