Creator's Key Takeaways

silver NOA is the first of her class with her inaugural Cruise taking place in August 2023

I was surprised that there weren't more options for pools on board it's not much of a concern in Alaska but in tropical climates it would be nice to have multiple options

the positives however are numerous the horizontal design the outward facing views and the use of glass was impressive

the all-inclusive nature of the cruise where I didn't feel obligated to purchase any more than was included and of course the level of service that one should expect on board such a ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book shore excursions early as popular tours can sell out
Consider the all-inclusive door-to-door option for convenience
Use the butler service for in-suite dining and personalized attention
