Review summary

Overall this trip was a HUGE disappointment. Norwegian sucked and we will NEVER cruise with them again. And Cheap Cruises was also incredibly disappointing. We called many times after our initial booking - they were horrible about getting back to us. Won't be using them ever again either.

This was the best part - but a half hour a day was very time limiting.

Ship Quality

We got Norovirus on board - the strain was antibacterial resisting. We washed everything in our room before we used the room. Washed our hands before every meal and at every opportunity. Still we got Norovirus and missed two ports and couldn't eat anything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was clean, but we cleaned it again before using the room.
