Review summary

We cruised on Norwegian because of the itinerary and the price. We learned that you get what you pay for.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

very quick and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

food was just OK at best

Cagney's Steakhouse

1 out of 5

On day 2 of the cruise they had no ribeyes left. The veal chop I got was cut so the meat got narrower as you got away from the bone, if that makes sense. Just horrible butchering. Everyone else got seafood, which was ok. Also, our waiter would disappear for long stretches while our water glasses sat empty. Summary: bad food, worse service. Very disappointing.

Service and Staff

service was pretty good, but our steward was a ghost

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

ship was immaculately clean inside, the layout took awhile to figure out though

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

mini-suite - typical layout. The fold out bed was a joke. It's about twice the size of the bed my dog sleeps on. Also lots of noise from above, as the room is directly under the buffet.
