We sailed a few years back on NCL's Norwegian Sky to Alaska and they were absolutely fabulous. I must admit now that after reading so many bad reviews of NCL recently I would hesitate to book them again.

The $5 trip to Mendenhall isn't 15 minutes at the glacier in our experience. The bus we took did a round trip every 1/2 hour. You could stay there as long as you liked...as long as you didn't miss the last bus of the day.

Ships break occasionally and ports are missed. This isn't only a policy with NCL. They all do it. They will eventually have to cancel a week or so to fix the ship but the lines do tend to put it off when possible. It's a bummer when you have to miss ports of course but it does happen.

How was a dance team "sickening". I don't understand this comment.

Every ship we've ever been on serves lobster only on one night. For future reference you can order extra however on that night. At least that was our experience on all cruises we've taken.

It's too bad the cruise was so dissapointing for you. Alaska is such an awsome place.
