Review summary

First Norwegian cruise will not be our last. Staff was excellent!!! Many things to do - a little bugger ship than we like/used to but a great experience!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was fairly fast and seemed much earlier than past cruises (mostly Disney). Only issue in NO it’s a little hard to get right there.

Two solid shows - Burn the Floor full of energy but lacked story line. Six was excellent

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Steward - better than excellent, saw him every day, didn’t know what else to do to make our trip pleasant. Waiters - amazing, attentive, fun, efficient Bar tenders - all great and Dr Live worth price of admission

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of space - our first balcony, will not be our last. This one is forward of elevators so only noise was from rare shuffle board game. We liked this room

Ship tip

Book specialty dining early. Go early to Syd Norman’s Pourhouse if that’s your thing - we found ourselves there every show and thought it worth price of cruise

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana
