Review summary

This is a great cruise with a lot of at sea time to enjoy the Beautiful Breakway. Due to the size of the ship while dining the food usually comes up on the cool side and is never really hot. The restaurant service is on the slow side which makes for a very leisurely meal. The tendering service at their island great stirrup cay is very slow getting off the ship and very slow with very long lines getting back on. The island is very beautiful however it is difficult to find a lounge chair due to the crowds.  There is a very nice buffet on the island but the lines are very long.

On board the staff is very nice and tries to be very helpful. The ship is beautifully appointed and has a lot of activities no time to be board.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was clean and well kept. However the carpet looks a little war torn and thread bare near the balcony door. The bath room and shower area were very nice. A chair in the cabin would have been nice. There was really no comfortable place to sit in the cabin. The balcony chairs were nice but seating was limited to the out side.

Ports of call

New York, New York

3 out of 5
Disembarking in New York was slow Norwegian said it was due to the fact that customs inspectors were not on duty to me it looked like pass the buck it's not our fault.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Kennedy Space Center a must see

I believe hes referring to lounge chairs on GSC. Very tough to find them if you get there later.

Thanks for the excellent and detailed review. Did you ask for an extra chair for your cabin? I'll bet they would have brought one...
