Norwegian Alaska Cruise Reviews

This was our first cruise in twenty years and our first cruise on NCL. As we were celebrating our 40th anniversary we decided to splurge and book a Haven cabin and enjoy all of the benefits that go along with cruising in the Haven. Since this was a special occasion, we did book back to back weeks on the same ship with the second week also being in the Haven. In general, we liked the layout ...

I gave this cruise two stars based on: Alaska and Glacier Bay are breathtaking. Room steward was attentive. Dining room staff, specialty dining staff, and a couple bar tenders are well trained and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Purchased priority embarkation for $199 which included breakfast room service. The man that delivered our breakfast was pleasant and enjoyable. Teppanyaki had ...

I have mixed feelings about this cruise. I've only been on two cruises prior to this and both were with Carnival to the Bahamas. FIRST IMPRESSION - The port in Seattle was dirty. The check-in process was long, which is usually par for the course. When I finally got checked in and on board the ship I couldn't even go to my room because it wasn't ready. When my room was finally ready they ...

I chose this cruise as it was the only one that fit into my schedule. I did not realize that cruise ships now nickel and dime you on everything. The staff is not helpful when trying to book specialty restaurants. They can't recommend anything, they tell you to look at the menu and come back. I could not book specialty restaurants prior arriving on the ship, I tried, no specialty restaurant had ...

This was our first and last cruise with Norwegian. Between the minimal entertainment, aggressive sales tactics, and limited free dining options, we were annoyed and bored most of the time. The ship is so crowded that it’s almost impossible to even find a seat in a public area. That goes for shore excursions as well. Even though we prepaid for the premium plus drink package, we were charged ...

My sister and I were excited to experience Alaska, and we especially wanted to see whales and the beautiful scenery. This was my first cruise as a Platinum Latitude member. Expedited embarkation was excellent. The behind the scenes tour was great. Loved having the additional specialty dining meals and the free bottle of wine. We took the transfer from the Anchorage airport to the Seward cruise ...

My wife and I just returned from four consecutive B2B cruises all aboard the Norwegian Jewel. Embarking September 25 from Seward Alaska and finally disembarking in Singapore on November the 11th. 1. Cruise 1 – 25th Sep Seward to 2nd Oct Vancouver 7 days 2. Cruise 2 – 3rd Oct Seattle to 19th Oct Tokyo 16 days 3. Cruise 3 – 19th Oct Tokyo to 30th Oct Taipei 11 days 4. Cruise 4 – 30th Oct ...

For so many years taking a cruise was something we were going to do “someday” when we retired. Well, someday came last September and the years of vague anticipation were more fun than the actual experience. The Good: Big, beautiful, clean facility. Size of the ship made the Iowa look like a rubber duck. Friendly, helpful staff, many making real effort to understand our English. The ...

We sailed on the Norwegian Bliss on her maiden voyage in 2018 from Southampton, UK to New York. It was a fabulous experience. We were excited to sail her again for Alaska, but it ended up being quite a disappointment. We are frequent cruisers, and have sailed pretty much every other line out there. We have never felt so nickeled and dimed as we did on NCL. The gratuities are the highest in the ...

When we arrived at port #66 in seattle, we waited 4 1/2 hours outside in the rain. apparently, there was a communication glitch. Nevertheless, we proceeded with optimism that this was only temporary, and we were going to have a wonderful relaxing cruise. ncl did nothing to accommodate the 4,000 passengers waiting in line with luggage, tired and wet. there were approximately 4,000 passengers ...
