Wanted to do an Alaskan Cruise. Kept seeing the advertisements for the go-carts, laser tag etc, but we were not overly impressed by any of it. Poor design of the go-cart track for sure because we got pretty wet during the ride. The track is right behind the huge steam stacks, so when the steam comes out and mixes with the cold Alaska air, it literally "RAINS" on the tracks. Not happy getting off the go-carts and having to change wet cloithing! Someone "missed the boat" on that design! LOL!

Most of the same restaurants, same menu as all the other ships. Didn't really find anything spectacular about this ship compared to the others in the fleet other than size which just means more walking and more waiting for the elevators. The Atrium area seemed no bigger then other ships and never as able to accommodate the amount of people who want to see the shows in the Atrium. Getting very tired of the same activities on every ship, and same food on every ship. Very sick and tired of the ridiculous charges/fees for simple thing like getting your hair washed, dried and styled AND cruise members trying to get you to spend, spend, spend. It was our wedding anniversary. Getting my hair washed, some deep conditioning (Maybe) blow dried and slightly curled was terribly expensive. They tried to talk me into getting some vitamins that you can only purchase on the ship - who would do that if you can never purchase them again. Then tried to get me to purchase some stupid eye cream which didn't do a darn thing for me. I did buy the shampoo just to shut the guy up and some conditioner - so my simple wash, dry and style for my nice dinner that evening cost me $124.00. My husband who basically has very little hair on his head got a cut to the tune of $41.00. What a waste of money. Time to try scoping out a new cruise line to get something different.

Cabin Review

Inside Stateroom

Cabin ID

Standard size inside stateroom, nothing special or different from all the other Norwegian ships. Beds are STILL very uncomfortable! Nothing special about it. Cookie Cutter furniture all throughout the ship.
