This was a relaxing cruise for me and one that I would pick for a slow, chill vacation. To me, it isn’t for active kids/teenagers. I will plan another cruise with just myself, the spa and a balcony!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
The embarkation was pretty straight forward. There was plenty of staff to help keep the line moving. From the time I got out of my taxi, my bags were quickly tagged and sent onboard. Plenty of staff available to assist with documents while you were on the line. So that by the time different station points, your documents were ready. A quick and efficient embarkation process
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The drinks were good. The food was standard American fare. I was not able to try any of the specialty restaurants. The staff in the main dining rooms and buffet were great
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
My kids participated in zero onboard activities. There was a charge for everything except the pool and the gym. Race track, laser tag, virtual arcade was not included in the price of the cruise. The activities in the atrium were just something to do. Just to say you were doing something. The nighttime entertainment was good
Entertainment
4 out of 5
For the most part, the nighttime entertainment was good. Good enough to please Norwegian’s general population
Children's Programs
I traveled with kids ages 14, 17, and 19. My 14 year old was more interested in what her siblings were doing
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The dining staff were fabulous, friendly and genuinely eager to please. The overall staff was professional
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Extremely clean, balconies and ship’s bathrooms included!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin and balcony were much larger than expected. I was a little concerned with the step up to the bathroom. It’s a tripping hazard. Maybe someone can explain to me its purpose as I haven’t seen that on other cruises. There must be a reason for it.
In any case, I was so pleased with the cabin that I’m now spoiled. I don’t know that other cruise regular size balconies can compare. For a regular balcony, the size was generous and I didn’t feel caged in at all. (No metal lining in the design, full sliding doors. I loved it.)
Ship tip
Make sure you bring some books and music and prepare to do some serious relaxing on the balcony because you will want to spend time out there. So the advice is to get a room with a balcony
Seattle has an interesting and diverse population. You really have to visit for yourself to get a true perspective. I will say this though,, I’m from NY and some things wer quite shocking and some things reminded me of home. It was a good visit
