Norwegian's Alaska - Ask & Answer. Be aware of where you are getting your "cruise advice" !

Yes, I am back from my Sandy Hurricane Cruise to Bermuda.  As soon as I have time, I will post experiences.  Am sharing this today, instead of waiting to post here on my Alaska Blog on my regular week day of Thursday. 

Today, I received an email from Norwegian Cruise Line.  I noticed a section that said, Alaska - Ask & Answer.  I saw questions like, what is a good hotel to use near Seattle, etc, and thought, hmmm, this might be good info.

Well, I begin reading the questions; then the answers; these answers are NOT from an expert; not even an NCL representative !  Consumers are answering these questions.   UGGH ! 

Please, beware !  Do NOT rely on just any person answering your questions.  Your answers need to come directly from the cruise line or more specifically, the agent you are buying from, or better yet, from a CRUISE SPECIALIST !


Feel free to check out some of the questions/answers ....  I only looked at 3 and STOPPED !

Example, one asked, can you smoke on the ship.  One person answers, I "think" you can.  Excuse me, I "think" does NOT warrant that person answering at all !

Another was, Do I need a passport ?  There were yes and no answers.  SORRY, this is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.  I would NOT want my clients reading info and getting 1/2 answers such as this.  And ...I am totally shocked that NCL makes this available on thier website.  I guess they are trying to be like Cruise-Critic, where folks are actually only "passing thier opinion" !  UGGH again !



FOLKS ... Non-Expert opinions is NOT what you need or want to go by !
