Alaska Cruise Reviews

My wife has Al's a dying. Choose this cruise because we have never seen Hawaii and Alaska. We are not rookies with NCL, we are diamond member with over 500 sea days with them. It's sad to see all the cuts they made. Your room. They now come once a day, not turning the cabin at night. When boarding 2.30 to 3 pm to get in the cabin. Little folded animals or chocolates on your pillow. ...

I love my Starbucks lattes and was excited my husband bought me the unlimited package for $109 for a week. Problem is most times I went to get a drink there was a line that took an hour to get through. I ended up having 6 drinks in 7 days. Not the end of the world, but it would have been better to simply pay when I wanted one and save a good $50. The Starbucks drink package is ...

Ship: Beautiful and big ship, one of few NCL ship with huge observation lounge in the front (other than Haven Lounges), where light meal/snack and a bar was open most of the time. This is where the Glacier Bay NP rangers hosted presentation overlooking the Glaciers from 8-noon. ship layout with one central point with two elevator banks on forward and rear. As typical there is no indoor ...

Dining was a challenge. Apparently it is not possible to serve warm food either at the Garden Cafe buffet or in the Main dining room. We had to send back breakfast meals 4 times out of 6 times while dining in Savor because they got the order wrong. Disembarkation at ports was a nightmare. It took 90 minutes to get off the ship at Skagway. Someone said they underestimated the amount of ...

Booked this cruise for our honeymoon and the most important thing we learned was that an Alaskan cruise is enjoyed better if you go at the beginning of spring or summer. Don’t wait until fall then it’s too late! Our cruise was the last one of the season and we could tell when we reached ports. Ketchikan and Victoria were basically closed and our itinerary changed last minute so Skagway was ...

Had some vacation days , so took this last Alaskan cruise. Yes, cost was a factor in selecting this cruise! Ship:- great clean new ship. Very stable because of stabilizers. Room:- great room with Balcony, very good staff, the room was made up clean and neat. Staff: very friendly staff. Don't know how they remember guest name all the time. Excellent! Food:- just ok. Went to two ...

Travel with Alan had a killer deal on a 21 day Panama trip. Ok, where to start: Soaked cabin floor, had to move. Likely black mold! They tried to fix it by blowing hot air around the cabin! Moved to worse cabin location at the very aft of the ship. Heavy rocking and vibrations. Forced to move during Panama lock run Missed two hours of Panama Canal Screaming balcony door all night Rattling ...

We wife and I booked this cruise as a getaway! We live in South Florida and flew to Seattle for the 20 day cruise back to Miami. We upgraded to a balcony suite. Bigger room and balcony, but all the suites on the 11th floor are the noisiest on the whole ship! Your underneath the Spinnaker Lounge which goes on until 11PM and the maintainable work goes in until 12.30 AM, but that’s not the ...

We lucked out with this cruise. Being late in the season, there was only half the capacity of guests. Everyone on board enjoyed VIP service from the friendly, attentive crew. We chose the trip for the itinerary: starting in Vancouver, to Alaska, then south to San Francisco and LA - a nice variety of ports and scenery. It was our first time to Alaska and we are already planning another so we can ...

After an almost 20 year hiatus and after becoming a recent widower, I decided to take another cruise again -- this time as a solo traveler for the first time in my life. I had been to Alaska previously on Crystal and Princess and wanted to go again, so I chose NCL because they are one of the few cruiselines to offer solo cabins. My travel agent informed me that they were having a special sale on ...
