Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Garden Café
Everything was on spot and the food was really good.
The Manhattan Room Restaurant
The waiters were friendly, the food was good, and the style was unique.
Onboard Activities
Sports Complex
More like a basketball court. It was a little too small.
Entertainment
Children's Programs
Entourage Teen Lounge
Everything was good despite the lack of space which really bothered me. I never experienced a teen lounge which lacked space during any of my past cruise experience.

Ship tip
Free water and drinks for latitude members; one staff (a blonde woman at the CruiseNet desk) was rude. I got upset with her attitude towards me and ended up not taking advantage of the $500 deposit toward my next cruise. This is uncharacteristic of Norwegian staff, though. They are all kind and professional. I like seeing the diversity among the personnel from the desk to the officers and leadership. The best food was pricey. There were limited options for the good and luxurious dining. I like the way the room was arranged with the headbed toward the window. However, I was nauseated by the smell of the drinks left in the small fridge. I asked the steward to remove them, he cleaned it and told me it was a mini bar which I saw no need for. I hated that part the whole time. I don’t think; there was no need for that minibar in my stateroom during my stay. I like Norwegian overall. But they will need to make some improvements.
