Creator's Key Takeaways

we just got off the Norwegian spirit for a seven-day Alaska cruise and we're gonna do a cruise review

embarkation was really so smooth that even though we walked from Station to Station we hardly ever stood still

the itinerary is really good um I've shared with numerous people since we've been back what a great itinerary it was

I loved every morning going and sitting in Spinnaker um Lounge it's it's more than 180 degrees yeah um yeah so thank you I think you would say 270 degrees

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in online before boarding to speed up embarkation.
Get coffee before disembarking if taking a train, as onboard coffee is better and cheaper.
For crab claws, visit Juno at Tracy's or Dave's Deckhand Dave's for better prices and quality.
Arrive early for the Silk Chinese restaurant to avoid long waits.
Use the door lever system to communicate with your room steward.
