We just got back from our Alaskan cruise on the Pearl (July 9-16, 2017), and had an awesome time! I’ll try to stay somewhat orderly here by going with categories.
CHECK-IN:
We had set up our check-in time for 11:30-12:00. ...

We went to Alaska on the Jewel. I was so impressed with how well the ship was maintained and kept clean. The staff was so nice and friendly. The officers and crew were awesome. We had the pleasure to meet the Captain several times and ...

By all means get a cabin with some kind of window: We were on deck 4 ( the lowest one) and had a porthole...it was just fine!
Think twice before you "buy" internet service on the ship. My husband did, and we had issues ...

We chose this cruise as I wanted to do a one way trip this time. A few years ago we did a round trip Seattle on Celebrity, and it was sad seeing the other ships heading north on the last day when we had two days at sea heading south.

This was 7th NCL cruise and by far the worst experience during embarkation via Vancouver terminal. The process of boarding this ship was like a cattle drive! My husband and I paid over $15,000 (including shore excursions and pre-paid ...

Very nice stateroom. Lots of room and storage, the room however is behind the stairs, so there was a lot of noise especially when luggage was being retrieved for disembarkation. The food was not what we expected. We ate in the Four Seasons ...

The main dining hall was great, with great service and food. Each port it was very easy to get on and off of the ship. They did a great job at the glaciers, getting close, and giving great explaining what was going on.
The only issues ...

We sailed the Sun from Vancouver to Seward in July: two parents, two teens. We had two inside staterooms, which were surprisingly roomy with great storage. The ship is dated in décor but very well maintained. Throughout our ...

This cruise was a great experience. The ship was very clean, service was outstanding - especially the bar staff and cabin stewards. Offers a wide variety of food options and the beverage package is a plus. Getting on and off the ship ...

Wanted to take my dad on an Alaskan cruise. My husband and I have been cruising since 2003. We took this exact cruise, exact ship to the exact port in 2007. At the time, NCL was my favorite as they were the first ones to introduce ...

Everything went as planned. We spent time off the ship in every port, including Seattle which was our departure point.
Out excursions were great, especially the whale watching/Mendenhall Glacier excursion.
Cabins were cleaned and ...

This was our very first cruise so we have nothing to compare it to, but we were pleased. We had an inside cabin which worked out fine. It was dark and easier to sleep. Cagney's Steakhouse was so delicious. O'Sheehans had a great breakfast ...

My first experience with NCL was in 2001 on the NCL Sky. Perfect vacation cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on a brand new ship. Private dining, same table every night, same waiter, same maître d', same ...

This is a great cruise line. I think the Jewel is a very pretty ship and staff on board are attentive and pleasant, without going overboard just to receive a reward. I am ready to go again, on NCL, on any ship in their fleet. The cruise ...

My 85-year-old mother-in-law is finally getting to her bucket list and took my husband and me on this cruise. Her money. She is not wealthy. She has never led an extravagent life-style, so this was a huge deal for her. I helped make the ...

We have always want to go to Alaska. We had family going and it was a perfect time. Since, we live near the city we were departing from there was no need to explore it. Our embarkation process went smoothly and was well organized. ...

Took the Alaska cruise leaving June 25, 2017 on NCL Sun. 7 day cruise starting in Seward and leaving ship in Vancouver. First time on NCL and would rate the cruise ship as average but the Alaska adventure outstanding, ports and glaciers ...

Very nice stateroom. Lots of room, lots of storage, very roomy. The TV didn't work well - we had to eventually have it replaced which took a lot of calls to guest services. It took hours for them to finally respond. Our steward was not ...

What a pleasant surprise with Norwegian Sun, I was expecting an old ship with miminum fun activities, but I was wrong.
Ship is in good conditions (only bad part is that pool is not covered), Cagneys and Moderno restaurant are the best, ...

We chose this cruise because of the unique itinerary and was not disappointed in where we went or the ports of call. Freestyle Dining definitely is worth it though the wait staff in several of the restaurants were not very attentive. We ...

We attended a wedding in Seward, AK and thought a cruise on our way back would be a great way to explore Alaska's coast. The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the many dining options. We did get a little bored on our at sea days ...

FOOD & DINING
Not a thing to complain about, especially from a guy who dislikes cooking. I personally prefer healthier options and trust that they had a ton of them. We also dined at 3 specialty restaurants per our tradition and ...
