Review summary

We had a great time.  This was the smallest group we have travelled with in a long time.

 

Everyone loved the Freestyle dining.   Both the unlimited drink package and the 4 specialty restaurant meal package were included in our fare.  We were able to easily make reservations and all of the meals were wonderful.

 

We plan on taking more cruises on Norwegian in the future.

 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved the Freestyle Dining along with the specialty restaurants. We had the 4 specialty restaurant package that was part of our cruise price.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
They really did not have much in the way of onboard activities. Especially "pool" activities on sea days like we are used to on other lines.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

The staff and service were great everywhere we went.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The only issue is the ship was dated but it is going into dry dock this year so that is being addressed.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The living space was a little smaller than some cabins we have had in the past but that was because the bathroom area was larger with the toilet area being able to be closed off. Set up was fine with plenty of storage for our gear and we do not travel light as we take our scuba equipment with us.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Cozumel, Mexico

As always loved Cozumel. We used Blue Majic Diving. If you are taking a Discover Scuba class ask for Mario he was wonderful with our friend who was leery and by the end of her trip she had made it down the 40 feet to join us.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
