We just got off a 16 day Alaska and Hawaii cruise on the Spirit. Great cruise but one turn off.
The ship is a beautiful ship. The crew and staff are one of the best we have had in over 35 cruises. BUT, I will never book a shore excursion on ncl again.
we wanted to go to the dog sled excursion but my wife could not do the swinging bridge part of it so we went down to talk to one of their agents and he fix
us up with a helicopter and dog sleding tour. It cost us $510 bucks. The morning of the excursion it was really foggy. We went down to see if the excurson
was still on. Well we was told that we didn't have the helicopter part. But we could not get a refund because we had signed the ticket. we evan went to the
general manager of the ship and he said since we signed, it was legal and we could not get a refund. In all we paid 510 bucks to pet some dogs. That part
was nice but not for 510 bucks. So we will book our excursions off of the ship for now on.
Alaska and Hawaii was really nice.
