As mentioned, the beginning of the cruise started out horribly because NCL’s transportation didn’t show up. However, once we got on the ship and started sailing, it was a great experience. The panama canal was awesome, and we had great weather throughout!

I was a little disappointed in the temperature of the food from the specialty restaurants. Seems like everything was just warmed up, not freshly made.

The thermal spa is a great addition to add on to your cruise!

All entertainment activities were great!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

If you didn’t have to go to the front desk and deal with the customer service folks, everything else was excellent! They really just didn’t seem like they wanted to deal with any issues.

Ship Quality

This was the beginning of the trip. Because the transportation company that was contracted with Norwegian didn’t show up, it made the beginning of the trip a horrible experience. We waited five hours after arriving into LAX for this transportation and ended up having to get a taxi to the cruise port.
