This is our third cruise with Norwegian. We have sailed all three times on the Dawn class ships, which are the more mid size, and we have been very happy with them.
We had a Haven class room, so embarkation and disembarkation were smooth.
I will add that our first cruise was in a mini suite. We upgraded to Haven the last two times and unfortunately, we won't be going back to a regular room. You get a little spoiled with the special treatment and for one week it makes you feel pretty darn special.
very large, 1.5 bathrooms, fold out couch for the kids was rock hard, two balconies this is the perfect room for Alaska. Butler brings snacks and you have unlimited water and soft drinks, also get 3 bottles of alcohol complimentary for the cruise
Seattle has beautiful scenery and history and a lot of cool things to do, but downtown was dirty and gross. We saw men urinating on buildings, dogs with homeless people urinating everywhere you walk and it was just gross. I'm sure the more urban areas are not as disgusting as downtown was.
Victoria was beautiful. We walked around and took it all in, had dinner at Nautical Nellies which was spendy but very, very good.
