7 Days Exploring Alaska By Cruise Ship - Was it Worth it?

  • Ever wondered what it's like to explore Alaska on one of the world's coolest cruise ships? From go-karts to icebergs, join me on an incredible 7-day adventure.
    I’ve just disembarked a cruise on one of the biggest and most exciting cruise ships in the world, where I spent 7 days exploring Alaska. I saw and did things on this cruise that if I hadn’t seen them with my own eyes, I would not have believed that they were real. From music to shows to food to icebergs and go-karts, our cruise had it all.
    This video is just one part of a series. Check out the other videos from this cruise here:

    I have wanted to return to Alaska ever since I took my first cruise when I was 11 years old, that cruise was onboard the Norwegian Spirit and I wanted to recreate that cruise as much as possible. This time on the much newer and bigger Norwegian Encore.
    I loved the trip so much back then but I didn’t know if it could possibly live up to my expectations as an adult. I wasn’t sure that we would have enough time to explore both the ports and the ship, and as I had travelled over 4700 miles to take this cruise, it definitely felt like a gamble, one that I hoped would pay off!
    We boarded the ship in Seattle, and I was very happy to be given an embarkation time of 11.30, I love being onboard a cruise ship for lunch. That for me is always a great way to start a cruise. I have boarded cruises in the past at 8pm or even at midnight so 11:30 in the morning was fantastic.
    In total, embarkation took us around half an hour, and because we’d already watched the safety video on our phone, we just had to check into our safety muster station on the ship. After that we were free to explore and to eat.

    Ps, you’ll see the ‘paid promotion’ button or ‘ad’ on all content related to this trip, as I was on a press trip when I filmed it (meaning I didn’t pay a cruise fare). I was onboard creating a video for Norwegian's channel which is very exciting. Not sure what 11-year-old me, who took her first Norwegian cruise, would think of that?! I'd probably think... What is TH-cam?? haha. 😀🛳

    My wife and are are UK born but have lived in Victoria for the last 13 years, you could definitely spent a *lot* more time here. We just finished our first cruise ever yesterday, a 12 day 'Land cruise', travelling across Alaska and the Yukon and finishing with four days on board, seeing Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan. I'd totally recommend the experience to anyone nervous about the 'another day, another port' aspect of cruising.

    This ship looks so much like the Norwegian ship we went on from NY City to Bermuda last year. All the same venues and shows, it was fun to see again. It was the biggest ship we ever went on, and very busy, and noisy. So noisy, in fact, that my hearing aid batteries ran out two hours before they usually do! Twice, in fact.
    We went on a much-delayed Alaska cruise earlier, on Celebrity, and again it was good to see some of the same ports. The White Pass & Yukon train was indeed wonderful, one of the highlights for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by SO much of the scenery. Alaska was a bucket-list trip for my wife, and she started calling it "our first Alaskan trip."
    This video combines aspects of the last two cruises my wife and I went on together -- she died in May. I'm SO lucky to have been introduced to cruising by her.

      We did the sister ship NCL Bliss the first week of May 2024 to Alaska. We booked inside cabins on deck 13. (Inexpensive vs a veranda cabin) NCL really offers so much at a very reasonable price. The food and staff were first rate. Save your coins, it’s worth it. Seattle is a great place to sail from, easy port to get to.

      Recommend renting a car and driving this route-see more, go farther, spend less! Have done this several times, always see bears along the road. Need a passport, because you venture into the Yukon. Highway is well maintained, since bus tours use it. Beautiful trip, especially early in season with lots of snow on the mountains and waterfalls are flowing with spring melt.

    You know I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy the go carts on our cruise, I guess it was hard for me to really imagine a full go kart track on top of a boat. But my kids and I loved it, and they were very fast compared to what I thought they might be. Also I really enjoyed the Beatles show and it was the first time for my young kids to hear their music and actually see their parents dancing and enjoying themselves. Also for me the highlight wise the Haven I gotta admit I would splurge for it again and it made such a difference in the cruise.

      @@EmmaCruises we had the same room that you profiled at the aft left corner of the ship. Which fit my wife and I and two kids perfectly. We were not aware that the Haven had rooms outside of the front space. But we really enjoyed watching the world pass by from the back. One morning. I remember waking up and I thought the ship was docking because the boat kept rumbling and making odd noises. I went outside to check and I realized we were going through an ice field which completely blew my mind. And to quote what you said my brain could not comprehend what I was seeing. I would definitely go back and do it again.

Glad you had so much sun, we did end up with super cold and sometimes rainy weather. Being from Oregon it was no big deal for us (except the torrential downpour on arrival in Ketchikan). Got my Captain Hudson and can't wait to sail with him in April, who knows what adventures he will find.

    Loved watching this! I sailed with Princess in 2019, roundtrip Seattle, and to answer your question: I live in Vancouver, Canada. The Victoria port DID feel a bit funny, as we would get back on the boat to actually go FURTHER from home just to arrive in Seattle and drive back home. Even though it would have been a ferry ride home, we contemplated whether we would have been allowed to disembark in Victoria if we did the itinerary again. Nonetheless, it was fun to "port" in a place so close to home, as I was able to show new cruise friends around some secret spots!
