I would not recommend Norwegian cruise line. I understand that their ships are beautiful fun to go on. But their customer service is absolutely horrible. They do nothing but lie to you. When they say they record the phone conversations with people they don’t that’s a lie. They will do nothing to accommodate or to fix their mistakes. Worst cruise line customer service you could ever deal with. Would not recommend I’m going on a cruise with Norwegian because of them.
