Review summary

We did not expect this cruise to be this enjoyable but it far exceeded our expectations.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Our ship was delayed entry into the port of Tampa for 11 hours due to fog. We were able to board at about 9:30 pm. This was by no means the fault of Norwegian, it was classified as an "act of God".

Ship experiences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We have been on over 20 cruises - the staff and service were by far the best we have ever experienced! The staff were always smiling, friendly and eager to serve.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and well laid which made it easy and convenient to go from one venue to another.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very comfortable, Great shower - roomy, easy to use, not like other cruise ships which are far too small and hard to wash yourself easily.
