Enjoyable tour. Apparently not much for passengers to do who did not book tours because they were lined up for city blocks to get back on the ship very early and caused a lot of trouble.
Beautiful port and city. We chose a tour in Amsterdam, but knowing how beautiful Rotterdam is, we would have stayed and seen more of it.
Loved Copenhagen. Have been before while taking the Baltic Cruise. Beautiful place. Wonderful people.
Not enough time there to comment. Florida is a trip on its own.
We loved the London on land and water tour. Our guide was the best. I have been to London several times, but for the rest of our group this tour gave them a good overview. Wish we had had more time there.
We never got there except to look at it from afar. No real explanation for not going there. I have been twice before with other ships and never had a problem. The claim that the weather prevented it was not believable. Sorry. I have experienced waves in South America crossing Drakes Passage and so I know what waves are.
Never got there. Port was cancelled with no plausible explanation. Very poor on Norwegian's part. I haven't been there in 50 years so it was very disappointing to have it cancelled.

Without a doubt, staying in the Haven Suites made our trip superb. The service was impeccable and the food served in the private dining room was five star quality at every meal. We ventured out into the other eating venues a few times, but always returned to the Haven. Unfortunately the weather did not permit use of the pool. This was my first Norwegian experience and I have to say that there were many bumps in the road. Not getting into two main ports without real explanations was disappointing, to say the least. In the port of Brest France, people were lined up for city blocks waiting to get back on the ship. Only one plank/platform was down and there was an incredible amount of hostile passengers who were yelling at the passengers getting off tour busses telling them to go to the back of the line. I saw the worst behavior ever from passengers and it was very disturbing. We chose to shop at the amazing tents set up on the pier and enjoyed the best bottle of French wine we have ever had. The shore excursions were very good and we were fortunate to have excellent guides on each one. The Norwegian Getaway was the largest ship I have ever been on and I think that without the Haven experience, we would be giving a different review.
