Review summary

The ship is amazing, the entertainment for the children was great.  The service in the Manhattan restaurant and the Italian restaurant was VERY slow and at times disorganized.  I've cruises before on other cruise ships and the highlight of our trip was always  exceptional service in the restaurants.  But I don't know if it's because of the Freestyle Cruising, it falls short of attention to dining detail and quality service.  It feels as if the wait staff have no incentive to go the extra mile or focus on the task before them.  The room cabin attendant Gary was EXCEPTIONAL.  We were sure to leave him and extra gratuity as a thank you for his attention to detail and professionalism.

 

The menu/food at the Manhattan restaurant and the buffet is repetitive

 

Otherwise, we enjoyed the accommodations and the ship.

We had Garry also he was great. Every night he suprised us with different towel animals one night he mad e a man in my bed with towels and he used my husband's hat and sunglasses. I was delighted. We also felt the same way about the specialty restaurants. All and all we had a great time but Norwegian would be my last choice.
