I don't see a where it tells me if we are docked or Tendered. I just see letters after the cruise ships w/o a guide to what they stand for.

Thank you!

If I may hijack...;-) We are going to be in Skagway on the Jewel May 24th. Where do I find where we will be docked or tendered? I'm concerned as we have an excursion and I'm afraid tendering is going to create an issue. Good thing we are flexible go w/the flow folks, we can always cancel.

May I ask what port this was?

For the same reason people don’t eat the Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

This would not get eaten in our cabin.

My guess is you just have to ask....I will be doing just that next month on the Jewel 🙂

In May we are leaving from NY>Anchorage 6am departure w/arrival 1:20ish. Post cruise Vancouver>NY departure 11:30pm w/arrival next morning around 10am.

We've been able to score some very reasonable flights thru NCL BOGO promo NY>Fl.

What some folks seem to assume on these boards, is that every person who has ever cruised has posted their experiences here. Manny more don’t post then do. So much skepticism….<THIS is exactly why (IMO) more people don’t post more about their positive experiences, because the self proclaimed “truth police” come in and question your integrity. I posted OUR experiences, take it or leave it. It’s obviously, not been yours. I will continue to book what we are satisfied with and bid the “minimum” and expect nothing, but feel blessed when I receive the Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner email 😉

Like my daddy always said, There's one in every group."

Not true, we are 5/6 bidding minimum.

Have never had an issue with a guarantee cabin on NCL.

I have often had luck going to wherever on the ship they are taking reservation on day of Embarkation to adjust reservations or make new ones.

Have used Domestic and International w/o issues and the best part, it saved us $$$ each time.

$398.00/2person on Jewel in May 2024 Alaska.

On our November 2023 cruise on Prima, they were ONLY in the Observation Lounge during Afternoon Snack time. The line was looooooong............Good Cookies..... Nom, Nom, Nom 😋 Hoping they will be on our Alaska Cruise in May on the Jewel 🧐

They are really just looking out for your dietary health 😉

Another question: We get a Behind the Scenes Tour, when I try to book it it charges 99.00/pp. Do we have to book this on board?

Thank you 🙂

My husband and I have both reached Platinum status, below is from the Latitudes page on NCL site. Am I understanding that we get two Specialty Restaurant dinners total? (+the free at sea one)? Dinner for Two with a Bottle of Wine6 (per stateroom) Dinner for Two6 (per stateroom) Thank you in advance for your time.

We booked Major Marine 🙂 We scored a 20% discount because we also booked a room at The Harbor 360. Thank you all for your insight and input, it's most appreciated.

Thank you all for your feedback. This is our first trip to Alaska and I'm finding it a little over whelming, because, I usually book cruises well in advance, that way I have plenty of time to research. This is the first cruise we have booked inside of final payment. I made a reservation for a nights stay at the Harbor 360 Hotel. I will call them to add a boat tour.

Looking for feedback on these two tour operators. Each offers Room/Tour Combo's. What are the advantages/disadvantages for each? We will be coming in from Anchorage by train 11:15am tour leaves at 11:30. Thank you in advance for your time.
