Editorial Summary

The creator documents a seven day Alaskan cruise aboard the Norwegian Encore, departing from Seattle.

The creator highlights the quality of the food, noting it as a significant positive aspect of the Norwegian experience. The itinerary includes stops in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and a full day in Glacier Bay.
