We chose this ship for its touring of Glacier National Park and for the onboard amenities like race track, laser tag, etc. What strikes me is the utter lack of good service. Every restaurant we went too, the servers were not happy and provide only basic service. You had to ask multiple times for refills. They reached over people when serving, even spilled water down the back of some poor lady. ...
I chose this particular cruise based availability for the week we wanted to travel, then compared cabin rooms between the 2-3 different cruise lines/ships. Our departure and arrival ports were Seattle. Our stops included Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and finally Victoria, BC. We had a great experience and I would definitely recommend this cruise.
We had two balcony rooms next to each other on Deck ...
Juneau: I guess there are so many FAKE reviews for WHALE WATCHING. So i purchased Whale Watching with the Mendenhall Glacier and it was a waste of money! We paid $137.00 per person ( a deal compared to some of the other companies). However, we saw a few whales so far away that it was stupid. You guys wanna see whales? Go to a decent aquarium like the one in Seattle instead!! Whale Watching is ...
Cruised with family. We had a great time! Food in the Local and LeBistro were fantastic, other venues was sub-par. Cagney's was a total letdown on this cruise. We have had much better on other cruises from that venue.
Haven room, restaurant, and bar were heavenly. Service was fantastic and food was outstanding. Our Butler (little Cindy) made our grand-daughter's day when she showed up ...
I was a little afraid to go on this ship with so many people, but most of the time you do not feel more crowded than on a smaller ship! The Observation Window area in front was so amazing to have for Alaska... there is so much to see. I loved the glaciers, whales, and all the seals I saw. The food quality was the best I have ever had on a cruise ship. We were especially impressed with the ...
I booked this cruise as a solo traveler. I flew into Seattle on May 24 and spent two nights at the Kimpton Alexis hotel on 1st Avenue. I would recommend this hotel as a great, comfortable hotel in downtown Seattle within walking distance to the waterfront, Pike Market and other places of interest. An Uber ride to port is available for $10 plus tip. The weather was great during my stay - sunny and ...
We have been on 14 cruises and this was our first with Norweigan, there will not be a second. Of course what you enjoy is very personal, but we were very disappointed with the options on board for our teen and under 10 yr old. Basically, you have the kids club (one of which housed kids from 3-12 in one area) or you spend money for the race track, laser tag, or arcade. They did have a couple of ...
Family cruise to Alaska with family of seven with ages ranging from 20 to 80. We are the type of travelers that go with the flow and are going to make the best of any situation. That being said, we experienced both excellent and very bad. We were unable to travel a day ahead which I prefer because it makes the day less stressful. Our day began at 3am with a two hour drive to the airport and a ...
I am the basic economy cruiser. When I cruise solo, I choose Norwegian for a number of reasons. First, they have an excellent solo program, with an assigned solo cruise director. Second, their single supplement is generally less than 100%, especially if you are able to book at the last minute. Third, they let me take a bicycle on board, keep it in my room, and use it in every port if I ...
This was our first cruise.We saved for 4 years to be able to afford a wonderful experience. I am so disappointed, I don't know if we will ever go on another if this is what it is like.
Embarkation was easy, Our room was beautiful, although the step up into the bathroom was difficult to get used to. Our steward "Cassi" was amazing. Most of the staff were helpful, unless they were trying to sell ...
