Review summary
This was quite a stepdown from Carnival which was a surprise to me. I was expecting it would be better. Losing Israel to safety was disappointing but understandable but the replacement ports were just 2 more Greek islands so it was more of Greek Island cruise. They could have replaced with a more interesting ports. Four Greek islands was kind of same, same. The process of refunding us for the cancelled excursions was ridiculous. Having to stand in line to get cash instead of crediting back to our credit cards was hard on passengers and then to get off the ship with the amount of cash refunded to me could be dangerous. The one time I saw the cruise director he was outgoing and did a good job. Information was disseminated as it should. Frankly, this was my first cruise on Norwegian and was ready to move on from Carnival but after this experience I will go back to Carnival where the food, entertainment, activities were much better. I still had fun but was disappointed overall.Embarkation
