Review summary

I was very disappointed in Norwegian. I could feel that money was the only important thing. It seemed like every part of the cruise was based on how much more money can they get.

Embarkation

Fine

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Terrible. Can't get reservations Food is mediocre Specialty Restaurants are not special. They are more expensive than any restaurant in Utah. When they first started the come on line was that you can get fabulous food at a price that is cheaper than any nice restaurant. That is not true anymore. And they have a faulty reservation system that precludes anyone from getting in unless you reserve before the cruise. The concept has just allowed Norwegian to decrease drastically the quality of all the food that is included in the price of the cruise.

Onboard Activities

Again, it was vert hard to do anything spontaneously. Very crowded. Close to 5,000 people is too many people

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Good shows, but again it is almost impossible to get into the shows

We had a great time. We loved the food. We sailed on this ship last November from NYC to New Orleans for 14 days. The only issues we had was the New Orleans port.

Sorry you didn’t have fun. Luckily, the price for specialty restaurants are published and you don’t have to choose to do it. If it’s worth the price, that is always the question at any restaurant anywhere. Now you know it’s not worth it to you. Maybe try a different cruise line.
