Review summary
Extremely disappointed with how this cruise, ship and Norwegian in general are. If this is an indication of how Norwegian is going, I'm not sure about future cruises with themEmbarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Syd Norman's Pour House
Just another bar with the same offering.You would hope a location being billed as a British Themed Beer house would have some special or exclusive beer offerings!!NOPE! Just the same as any other bar on the ship. Without that, the decor alone is old and dated and not enough to make it worth spending time there. That is probably why they have karaoke there, to get people to come in.
O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar and Grille
For the most part descent pub fare. Except for the one night they ran out of Swiss cheese and put American cheese on a Reuben. They didn't even tell the server so I could possibly make another option. The taste combination is NOT good.
The Tropicana Room (Main Dining Room)
Blah... Same as Taste and Savor. Nice presentation, but lacking in quality
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
Always good, complex drinks!!
Moderno Churrascaria
Only 3 stars because Buffet is phenomenal!Meats were fatty and grisly. Most meats lacked flavor and seasoning
Garden Café
ZERO stars!!!Avoid if possible, many other free options with less unsanitary environment. I saw so many health violations happen I stopped eating there.
Shanghai's Noodle Bar
The needle in a haystack!!The best complimentary meal I've had this week!!This is a must try location!
Teppanyaki
Blah... The same as Taste and Savor with the same issues, good presentation but lacking in quality.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Delicious as usual... Remember to get the truffle fries!!!
Savor Restaurant
Presentation was good, but food quality was not what I have come to expect from Norwegian.
Onboard Activities
Guest Services
They are a joke. I was actually told "Before (pre covid), I would have been able to do something for you. But now, they won't let me"
Entertainment
Burn the Floor
Excellent ball room style dance show with some Latin flare. I was liking it to a all dance version of West Side Story at first with the love interest between 2 of the cast.
Spice H2O
Smoking area and movies under the stars... That ALL that was going on here all week
Dance Floor
Not much happened at Spice H2O other than movies on the screen
