Jen - that is AWESOME! And I have to say I am really excited for your for selfish reasons. I really want to do an Alaskan cruise next summer but the price for the Disney cruises with a verandah room are staggering. I was actually considering Norwegian. Aren't there a couple different itineraries you can do? Please tell more. I hope you love this cruise because I noted the price is half of a Disney cruise.
I hope to be able to share it all with you. Yes, NCL has 3 ships that sail Alaska, 2 out of Seattle and 1 out of Vancouver. They do round trip and one ways. Ours is going to Sawyer Glacier which I believe is in Tracy Arms...where Disney goes. They also have some that go to Glacier Bay which is supposed to be even better. For me the dates for Glacier Bay just didn't work as well...and he one that did was about $1000 more than the one we are doing so I decided for a bit more luxury this time.
I got mine booked (on hold actually) before the offers changed. They are decent right now, but the one I booked with is much better. Though the earlier you book often the better the price..unless you wait last minute and if it's not selling out then they tend to drop.
What shocked me is that Skip was willing to pay 2000-3000 more to do Disney. but those dates weren't going to work between his schedule and Claire starting back to school, plus the hassle to get him in the country. LOL.
Aw, poor Skip. That's a long time to still be dealing with one mistake.
The shore excursions in Alaska look amazing. You've been reading Podsnel's Alaska cruise trip report, right? Some of the stuff they got to do looked wonderful.
I sure am...we actually work together too. She's on a cruise right now so when she gets back I am sure I will be picking her brain.
I second the request for a trip report!
I plan on it!
