Review summary

This was our first Norwegian cruise. We loved the freestyle dinning, so much more relaxed. The food was fantastic, all the people that work on the ship were so friendly and helpful.
The entertainment was so good. The dancers and singers and everyone else was so talented and very professional. The only negative thing was  getting off the ship when we got back to New Orleans. We chose to walk off, because we could take our own luggage. The line was so long, stood in line over an hour. Not sure if the problem was that we were 1 hour later getting to port or if it is always that disorganized. Next time we will just sit in the Atrium or somewhere until they make us get off. Would recommend the Norwegian, we will definitely go again.

We had an inside cabin, was pleasantly surprised the shower was as big as it was. We always had our bed made up and fresh towels everyday. Great job.

they make you get in line. the line takes at least an hour to complete. they don't let you just wait until everyone else has gone.

the delay was probably customs. they don't care if you leave just coming back they like to take there time. glad y'all had a great cruise. 32 days and counting for us. any other tips on your journey?
