Review summary
This was our first time on Norwegian. We have cruised 3 other lines but thought we'd give Norwegian a try. The ship was narrower than other ships we have been on so we did feel the motion of it, with one night being very rough for about 2 1/2 hours. I did enjoy all the activities that were offered and really enjoyed having the first few days on ship before arriving at a port to really investigate the ship. This ship is meant for an Alaskan cruise not Caribbean as there was not enough outside seating at the pool or in the hot tubs. Not sure I would choose this line again.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Observation Lounge
Absolutely beautiful however there were many campers that never vacated to give others a chance to sit and take in the views.
The Local Bar & Grill
Great option for a quick bite in the middle of the ship where you can also participate in any of the Atrium activities. We ate here several times for an afternoon snack in place of lunch.
The A-List Bar
The bartender her was amazing. She was mixing many drinks at one time and moving like lighting.
Teppanyaki
Very entertaining and fun. Way to much food so go there hungry.
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
I had never had a Mojito I liked before but I gave it another try and the Raspberry Mojito was excellent. Very refreshing and delicious!
Q Texas Smokehouse
The pulled pork which was very good.
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Sea
Had breakfast here which was great because it was very quiet. I don't think many people knew they had a buffet there in the morning.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Had a good meal but if it was not part of my package I wouldn't eat here again.
Savor Restaurant - Main Dining Room
Savor, Taste and the Manhattan main dinning rooms were fabulous. If I didn't have specialty dining I would have been very pleased to eat here every night.
Onboard Activities
Bliss Casino
Played some slots and had fun participating in the slot tournament.
Bliss Speedway
Had a great time on this although it was really difficult to get around slower drivers.
Entertainment
Bliss Theater
Great shows with good views from any seat.

Ship tip
Don't bother rushing to Guest Services to get a Vibe pass. We were the 8th person on the ship from terminal B and by the time we got to Guest Services they were sold out. We were told they only give out 35 Vibe passes. Ridiculous for a ship with over 4,000 people.
