Review summary

I chose this trip specifically for the days at sea to do a little work and a lot of relaxing. The plan would have worked better if I'd known that their Wi-Fi does NOT cover calling or texting, which I needed to log into my computer! Beyond that, nice trip. The shows were the high point.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The Coast Guard inspection delayed us for almost 2 hours. I don't blame Norwegian for this, but they should have explained the problem much sooner

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was good, but we should have booked times on the first day. By the third day just about every time was gone, leaving us only buffet for our main meals, or eating at 9:30.

The closet location is not good. I was traveling with my girlfriend, so we had them split the bed. This made the closet almost inaccessible.
