Review summary

Not a bad cruise, not a good one either, just average. Helen, the cabin attendant seemed to be the happiest and most pleasant of them all, Thank you, Helen! It was dissapointing to see how they were selling upgraded cabins a lot cheaper than what we paid to beging with for an interior room. Instead of upgrading the customers that already paid and were willing to pay a little extra to upgrade they sold a a lot less to new customers. First time in Norwegian, not that impress. Would consider again only at a discounted price.

Ship experiences

4 out of 5
Food was good in main dining rooms, specialty restaurants food was better but of course for a price. Buffet was average. Drinks were good.

3 out of 5
Same as other cruises

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Same show two different days, could use an extra show.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Some Guest services staff were not that helpful. Seems like every time we had questions or changes to make they didn't have much help.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Liked the layout, fairly clean areas, maintenance needs some help.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Typical interior room, no better or worse than other cruises.

Ship tip

DO NOT PAY FOR INTERNET (WI-FI)! Super expensive, other than looking at facebook, nothing else worked properly (e-mails, phone calls, etc). They did give me back the money for the upgrade but not for the regular charge of Internet Access.

We were on this cruise and had a great time. Sorry to hear you didn't. You rated Katakolon and Messina but we never made it to those ports...I'm a bit confused.
