Review summary

Shows and entertainment were very good with lots of variety for all ages and likes.  We loved the variety of port stops but wish re-boarding the ship was later in the evening as actual time between most of the ports is only a few hours, 5:00 departures is to early.   We had a family balcony suite which was great with plenty of room and the bed was very comfortable.  Our room steward was awesome and very friendly and helpful.  The dining on the ship was overall pretty good but was very disappointed with both Taste and Savor dining rooms, The menu is the same as the Manhattan room but service and quality were not even close, it is like they train the servers at Taste and Savor before moving to other areas in the ship.  The Brazilian steak house was incredible with good service and very good food.  We spent a lot of time at O'Sheehans pub the bartenders where great and the food was always tasty, it was a great spot to watch over the Atrium shows also.  The unlimited beverage plan definitely has a flaw that other cruise lines do better, they do not allow any coffee beverages on the plan, so if you think you do you don't.  The sun decks have lots of space and we were always able to find chairs to lay out when we wanted to.  There were not many servers on the decks but lines at the deck bars were fast for drinks.  The water slides are great and give you a good cool off with some fun.  Overall it was a great time and would go with Norwegian again.
