Wasn't informed why a Hot Stone Massage was to be 270.00 when asked if I wanted to upgrade from a regular deep tissue massage. Had a 3 meal package and was added the total price of an additional steak for 42.00 instead of some adjustment based upon cheaper offerings. Time spent in Victoria was supposedly to be from 8 to MN but unable to leave ship until 8:30 and On Board time was 11:30. Many ...
This was my 33rd cruise and 8th time to Alaska. Maybe I'm just getting pickier or maybe because our last cruise was in the haven, but I seemed to notice more little things that bugged me. It was a good vacation but nothing spectacular.
We are platinum and so we were expecting the priority boarding as stated in many places on the NCL website. We got the priority check in which had I believe ...
This cruise was picked as a VIP Park West Gallery art auction cruise. We did not directly pay for this cruise but we are glad we chose it. Park West Gallery paid in full for Cruise, drinks, gratuities, and special dinning. The only real down side was the specialty dinning. It was not very good. Service was poor and the food was just ok. Got a backed potato at one dinning and did not even receive ...
My husband and I have been on various itineraries of Alaskan cruises (Holland America, Celebrity, Norwegian). This ship is sparkling clean and beautiful and it rarely feels "jam packed" despite carrying so many people.
What we liked:
* Mini-balcony - love love loved our room. For us, the extra space in the bathroom was much appreciated. We spent hours on the balcony watching the exquisite ...
Remember to download the App prior to boarding. A lot of people in our party weren't able to download the App once the ship set sail even when we came to ports. It was difficult for our kids and cousins to communicate without having the App. They couldn't message each other and so it was hard to keep them together.
Be sure to book your Go Karts & Laser Tag first thing when you get on the ship. ...
I chose this Alaskan Itinerary because it was one of the few that went to Glacier Bay and I wanted my kids to see it over the other options. Here were some of my answers to the NCL survey they just sent to me.
1. Breakfast at the buffet didn't have the variety I am used to.
2. The Race Track was fully booked within the first few hours of boarding. Maybe you should limit reservations to one ...
Seven days on the Round trip Seattle to Alaska , inside passage! numerous activities for grandchildren, They loved the Go Karts, waterslides, variety of food options. The Haven for us. We loved unlimited bar, 24 hour butler, Private escort to excursions, embarkation and disembarking. Food.was amazing! Haven restaurant had beautiful presentation and service was impeccable. The kids loved the ...
I chose this cruise because I had never been to Alaska and since I’m an NCL Latitudes member I was excited to experience the newest ship in the fleet that was built especially for Alaska. I persuaded a friend who lives in Seattle to go with me although she was reluctant as she had only cruised once before, years ago before the stabilizers, and had gotten seasick. I’m not sure she believed me ...
We had an awful experience with laser tag staff and game.
Guns were nonfunctional. And when requested to change we got a very bad attitude from staff members. All of them get together and argued with children.
Unfortunately this was last day of our trip.And ruined all 7 days.
Also we had drinks and specialty meals packages included in our trip.
It was very difficult to book the ...
Norwegian Bliss is an incredible ship built for adults who love to wine, dine and enjoy some great music and adult entertainment - all were in abundance. This is my 4th cruise (but first time on Norwegian). See my specific comments and I also added some tips for traveling with kids ages 10-12 I wish I had known before we went.
Food: was incredible in every location. Specialty dining package ...
