We were supposed to go to Alaska in April on the Norwegian Joy. They cancelled our trip and offered us the same rate on another cruise. On our re-booked trip on the Norwegian Bliss, they cancelled our third port at Ketchikan, saying it was poor weather. This meant that we were at sea for 72 hours straight including the day in Glacier Bay. It was my first cruise, so I had a lot to learn, but in talking to others who have cruised to Alaska on other cruise lines, I'm not sure Norwegian was a good choice. If we were to do it over, I would have spent more on the shore excursions, maybe less on the room. I would also look for a one-way itinerary to minimize time at sea. I used a prescription sea sick patch, but had a number of bad moments and by the last two days at Sea in the 72 hours stretch, they were taping "sea sickness" bags to the stairs for people to take.

Our room and cabin steward were top notch. Plenty of room to put items in the bathroom. In the room, there was room in the closet, on shelves in the closet and in small cupboards near fridge. Our steward helped us tape down an extension cord and got me distilled water for my CPAP machine. He was on top of everything. Loved having the balcony.
