Review summary

I loved the Casino but the air quality was so bad I came home with a sinus infection. Several months ago we got a email showing shore tours for our cruise. We choose and paid for these tours months ago. Once we got on the ship we found out that Norwegian has their own tours and those people get to go ashore first on the days we had to use a tender to get to shore. Many, like us, had to fight to get off this ship on time. Unfortunately my daughter & her husband missed their tour due to this. Norwegian treated us badly. Norwegian should of warned us; that if we booked tours with another company, they were going to treat us like 2nd class citizens!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Poor air circulation in casino, Spa smelled like mold. The gang plnk kept banging the side of the ship all night. We complained, were given a bottle of wine, but the banging continued through most of the cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

Lots of noise with the gang plank banging every night. We complained, even had the crew come in and listen, Problem never solved.
