We chose this Norwegian cruise when our local travel agent announced an Alaskan cruise last November and it was an item on our BUCKET LIST! I had never been on a cruise before so this was my first time. The ship is beautiful and it was a delight sailing on our Alaskan adventure with Norwegian! Our balcony cabin was very comfortable and we enjoyed the ability to sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise each morning! Natalie our cabin steward was an absolute delight and was there to make sure we had all that we needed! We never met an unsmiling face from the entire staff - from the restaurant staff to the bar staff - they all just wanted to make sure you were having a great time! I had seen some reviews before we sailed that were not as complimentary of the staff - but all I can say they must have been on a different ship because our experiences were all positive!

The food in the complimentary dining rooms was top notch and we never had to wait to be seated! You had choices of 6 or 7 entrees along with appetizers and salads and dessert - all included in the price of the cruise!!! My grilled salmon and shrimp ravolli in lobster cream sauce was very very tasty!! Breakfast in The Local was a morning treat for us. We took advantage of prepurchasing a 3 dinner dining package for the specialty restaurants on board. We really enjoyed the La Cucina Italian Restaurant (in spite of a rowdy family who kind of dominated the room) - in hindsight we should have taken the balcony seating! :-) My Sea Bass was great and the mushroom risotto was very rich and creamy!! Los Lobos was a very good Mexican Restaurant and my Carne Asada was fabulous. The Q - barbq was ok but the brisket needed more bark! Margaritaville was again ok but the key lime pie was the absolute best I have ever had!! Well worth it!

We had a drink package and the bar staff was friendly and accomodating! From Mojitos, to Margaritas, to Mudslides, and the Bloody Marys in the Observation Deck were DELICIOUS!! Plus wine with any meal or just an afternoon treat!

Cabin BC

We were very happy with our cabin - previous reviews had said there wasn't adequate space for storage but we found the closets had plenty of space and there were several shelves beneath the bar area in the main cabin and again in the bathroom. We were able to unpack and store all our things without a problem! The shower was plenty large enough and always had plenty of hot water!
