Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Fitness center is good and well equipped - personal trainer is knowledgeable and very accommodating to your needs. Disappointed with the pools because I could never find a chair - I dislike the fact that the cruiseline allows people to mark their chairs though they are not even there for hours. The pool area is already very small to accommodate all of the passengers. Mini-golf was a little small but did use it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The entertainment was great - enjoyed the main shows (Jersey Boys, Beatles, stand-up comedy).

Yes booked an excursion - guide was very knowledgeable. Disappointed with the wine tasting part of the tour - when we arrived at the venue nothing was organized, the person greeting us was surprised we were coming, she kept saying 'I didn't know you guys were coming!'. Very disappointed and didn't buy any wine or olive oil. Most of the people on the tour left after 15 mins and walked back to the bus.

I had a better time on Royal Carribean but customer service on Norwegian was great.
