Review summary

Nothing exceptionally good or bad happened on this cruise except for the food.  The only thing we can say about this cruise is "we've been there."  The cruise provided the means to cross Bermuda off our bucket list.

 

The food at the Garden Cafe can only be put in the category of "eating for survival" mode.  Dishes are usually overcooked.  There is always a line because the setup forces everybody to go through the salad line.  People are always wandering around with plates in hand looking for seats.  We hope the dining room might have better food which turned out not to be the case as one bite of the baked chicken jerky ended my husband's appetite.  It's not all bad at the Asian Garden just need to pick the right dish.

 

We have one more voucher for Norwegian and have made up our mind Norwegian is definitely not the favorite cruiseline we are looking for.

We have learned after cruising 6 times to do the specialty restaurants. The buffet is fine for breakfast and lunch but we are now going to have to eat and pay more for dinner......unfortunately I think they do this on purpose
