Creator's Key Takeaways

this was Cruise number 29 for me and uh my wife's 10th

the ship Itself by the way is gorgeous I had actually sailed as I mentioned a second ago uh on in one of it sister or cousin ships the Norwegian Escape back in 2017

the dining was actually pretty good Doug if I had to give it say an academic score I'd give it a B+

I can honestly say this after 29 cruises I can truly say that that was the best Excursion I've ever taken on a cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Fly in the night before your cruise to avoid travel issues.
βœ“Consider booking a balcony room for Alaska cruises for better views.
βœ“Live it up and splurge on excursions and experiences since Alaskan cruises are often a one-time trip for many.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cold weather and spending time indoors β€” Use the observation lounge and indoor areas; dress warmly for outdoor activities.
Crowds on sea days β€” The ship is well-designed for Alaska; indoor areas can get crowded, but seating is usually available.
