I chose this cruise because Alaska has always this giant land mass separated from the lower 48. i have read about it. I have viewed countless documentaries about it. I have viewed numerous tv shows about it. I decided to do something about it.
The Norwegian Pearl was a great ship. The ship's crew was warm, friendly and helpful.
The food was great. There were plenty of entertainment ...
I stayed in the Haven, which was decent from a cabin perspective as the upgrades are nice. The upgraded services weren’t really that useful in that the “butler” was a bit slow and difficult to understand, so we didn't engage him often. The concierge was responsive, but I ended up using the IConcierge app for my reservations, etc.
The ports of call (Ketchikan (Alaska); Juneau (Alaska); Skagway ...
This was the first cruise I've ever been to, and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. Starting with the crew - super attentive and obliging. The ship itself was a very cheerful place to be in. The variety of dining was excellent, food was always fresh, the assortment of dishes was simply wonderful - to all tastes. My husband enjoyed the well-equipped gym, and I walked on the deck a lot, marveling ...
I had a free cruise opportunity, I chose Pearl over the Bliss because it had Glacier Bay on the itenery . NCL docks in Downtown Seattle so we were able to visit some shops and ride the Seattle wheel after dropping out bags before boarding the ship. We had a forward ocean view room which was great a nice big window. We rarely saw our room steward, but he did everything we asked him to and the ...
For my 50th Birthday, the other half wanted to a bucket list gift for me, a vacation to Alaska. I got to pick the dates, ship, excursions, etc. It was stress free from the beginning to the end. The stateroom was clean, the dining was excellent, especially Cagney's (steak is delicious), and O' Sheehan's (my other half loved the shepherds pie) enjoyed the entertainment and the fitness center had ...
I choose this cruise because we live in the desert where the temperature is well over 100 degrees for five months and we wanted to be cold! Also, because Id had surgery four months prior and have been housebound in that heat
Mostly my choice was because of my partner, he doesn’t fly. The ease of getting meals whenever you wish, and the freestyle dining was a great point for him as we have very ...
We were fortunate to be able to cruise with friends from Hawaii. It made the trip so much more fun. Loved having the added packages for alcohol and gratuities. The restaurants that were not part of the food package were reasonable and very tasty. I was a little disappointed that the activities that really appealed to us weren't until much later in the evening. There's no way we could stay up for ...
This was my first cruise, and also my first trip to Alaska. I was part of a group for the Kailua High School class of 73 reunion festivities. There were about 20 of us including family & friends and the trip was organized by a classmate with help from a travel agent. What was really great is that we could spend time together enjoying the hospitality aboard the ship, meetups in the lounge or casino ...
This cruise was a surprise anniversary gift. So I was very surprised and happy with everything. Our room was decorated when we arrived. The flowers and cake was delivered on time. The chocolate covered strawberries were delivered on the day of our anniversary. Our anniversary dinner in the Summer Palace was just like a Five star restaurant. The service was wonderful as well as the food. The ...
