Review summary

Very first time cruising, so have nothing else to compare it to, which may be a good thing. missed 2 out of 4 ports with excursions. Was told not to judge all cruising by this cruise, as this cruise was a bit unusual, with everything that occurred on this sailing. Overall was an okay experience and you meet some amazing people. Entertainment and Food was excellent as well as most of the Staff.

Service and Staff

Most staff was excellent, just one or two that weren't, and i attribute that to being overworked.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

I had an inside Studio Cabin and was quite comfortable with the size, the shower is a bit small, but worked fine and the Studio lounge was fantastic for grabbing a quick coffee and muffin while getting ready for the day, or for sitting and chatting with other guests

Ship tip

Book all your Dinner and Entertainment reservations as soon as you can while still at home, or you may be disappointed. Time slots fill up fast.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

3 out of 5

did the best of Tortola and Beach Excursion through Norwegian, so got to see a lot of the islands. Then went to Long Bay Beach. for about 2 hours to swim and snorkel. Beware at this Beach, as they do charge for umbrellas and loungers ...wanted 65 dollars for 5 loungers and 2 umbrellas for 2 hours , but talked them down to 40.
