Review summary

We enjoyed the first 3 days the cruise being sea days. Allowed us to distress! The weather was not as sunny as we would like, but you cannot control everything. The package we got which included drink package, 3 specialty dining and free gratuities is hard for anyone cruise lines to match. Because of that we will cruise Norwegian again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
got to terminal early, wait time minimal, smart of them to have available specialty restaurant dining times available to reserve while waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Everything above average, Cagney's was are favorite specialty restaurant, followed by Italian, Mexican and then Teppenaki ( food too salty). Buffets are what you expect, plenty of selections all tasted good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
an older ship, so no craziness like rock climbing, or ice skating, but plenty to keep you busy if you want to be.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All shows were worth our time. None a 10 but none a 8 or below

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
No one person exceptional, but everyone was pleasant and performed their jobs at more than a acceptable level.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We like the smaller ships, easy to find everything, and no need to make reservations for everything.

Cabin / Stateroom

Bed, was comfortable, shower had a sliding door, water pressure was fine, and room was keft up daily and turned down each evening
