Review summary

The excursions we did were all excellent but Norwegian has the worse dock spaces in all the ports. This was our first Norwegian cruise and we were not impressed. Much prefer RC.

Way too many passengers and not enough room to sit Anywhere!!! Especially Garden Cafe and Observation deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

Smaller interior stateroom than any we’ve had on RC.

Ship tip

Be prepared to walk in circles to look for a place to sit and eat or enjoy the view. Way too many people for the size ship.
