My dh and I returned 2 weeks ago from an inside passage of Alaska tour on Norwegian. There were lots of families and children aboard, but they didn't bother us. The service was wonderful and the food was good. The restaurants, with no cover charges, were great and the market grill foods were fairly common, but I enjoyed every bit of it. My dh was bothered because there was a lot of fog, and he couldn't see the land. For a first cruise, I was elated. But I would try another line, if we went again.
