Review summary

Overall we had a great time and would sail on Norwegian again. The itinerary was excellent, especially for the three divers in our family. The thinks we have mentioned are more of an inconvenience rather than a show stopper.

Ship Quality

All areas of the ship were clean and well cared for however, it was the hardest ship to find places that we have cruised on.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Adrian did an excellent job of keeping everything clean and refreshed. The cabin lacked USB ports for charging. We had read on-line they had been installed during the recent renovation therefore we did not bring our usual number of adapter plugs. We had 1 US style and an additional US in the bathroom for razor. In addition there were 2 Euro style and 1 British style. So there we sufficient outlets, just bring adapters. The stool area in the bathroom will be very tight for a large person. The sliding door to the balcony was very hard to open/shut. This same problem existed on our other Norwegian cruise.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We had a fairly early flight so needed to disembark at 7:30 AM. The ship only provided baggage help for disembarkation of 8:15 or later. This may be a problem for some people.
