Won't be cruising on Norwegian again. Food was inferior to other cruise lines as was entertainment.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was not even close to the quality of other cruises I've taken. Wait staff was not very food contamination conscious, putting thumbs in food being served, serving dirty silverware, leaving soiled tablecloths on tables and sitting you there for service

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Fitness center was good, Trivia was very limited, stretch class only met some of the days we were on board

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Burn the floor was good. Rock of ages was horrible, a good high school could put on a much better show.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Hard to rate this as the room staff was great, wait staff was very bad, had an electrical issue in the room that had us up until midnight getting it fixed enough that we could get to sleep.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was kept very clean, jogging track was small and weird to use, casino smoke ruined dining in several restaurants.

Cabin / Stateroom

‘Casino smoke ruined dining in several restaurants.’ Please explain. Which ‘several restaurants’ did it ruin?

We’ve had very good food on NCL, as good as Oceania
