Review summary

Thank God we had a balcony cabin so we could get away and relax! There was so much pushing and shoving from people in a hurry (on vacation?). We could not figure out where people were rushing to - it's a ship; there is really no place to go other than into the sea. You could not get near the entertainment venues (Bliss lounge or theater) unless you got there an hour early.  The lounge above the atrium was nice and quiet, and a good place to listen to the music. The food was good in the restaurants - La Cucina was very good; Bamboo was terrible. The service was excellent. What can you say about a buffet. This was our 5th Norwegian cruise (and our last). We will look for something more laid-back and polite.

Since there are a high % of Bostonians on board, it could be that. You know how they drive (Lol 😂). Why they are affectionately referred to as "Massholes".
