I did the land and sea tour this past June. The 2 things that I didn't like was the fast pace of the land tour and the Anchorage tour stop. I would recommend the land tour before the cruise so you can rest and relax after the land tour. Anchorage is an overnight stay in the middle of downtown with a 10 to 15 minute walk to a restaurant. Downtown Anchorage is very sketchy. I didn't go to any restaurants because I didn't feel safe. I loved visiting Homer and Denali. As for lodging, NCL uses Bear Lodge in Fairbanks and Denali Park Village.
