Review summary

We loved the cruise it was me and my husbands 2nd time on a cruise and our kids first time. we wanted to give them a taste of a cruise and on land. they loved it.

it was our 25th anniversary and might be the last time  we get the kids all together for a cruise.

 

lots of things have changed since we went on our first one 25 years ago when we got married on the Starward/Norwegian. They charge for a lot more but things change with the times.

 

the things I did not like was the saving of seats around the pool. we would go to the pool at 8am for the hot tubs and saw all these chairs with towels saved and when we would go back around noon, some of the same ones were saved and never visited by anyone. also the little kids in the hot tubs unattended, diving and playing very scary. 

 

was told we could not bring water on the cruise, noticed a lot of people loading with cases of water.

 

though most of this did not ruin our cruise or opinion of Norwegian, we just thought some things could have been reinforced.

 

I would make sure to always take the drink package, it's so worth the savings. just a little shocked that the coffee at the café and soda not included. 

 

our Steward Maxman was awesome and made sure we had whatever we needed and always greeted us with a smile. Everyone was always pleasant to deal with and went out of their way for you and greeted you as well.

 

it took us a while to save up for this one and hopefully will go on another one sooner than the last. Thanks for a great experience.
