Thermal Spa was amazing. So relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Choir of Men, Beatles Tribute Band, Lemon Duo and Final party that brought together the ships musicians were all amazing. The ukulele player, Imalde, was always there to greet us with a smile and a fun song when we went to breakfast. It was a great way to start the morning.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our ship steward, Nada, always greeted us, knew our names and was ready to answer any question we had. He was very responsive and kept our stateroom clean and stocked.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We loved the observation deck and the outdoor, heated seating area outside of the Garden Cafe. The ship is beautiful and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size of the cabin was fine. We were able to store our clothing and toiletries with extra space available and didn't feel cramped. The bed was very comfortable and everything was well maintained by Nada.

Ship tip

It's a huge ship. Familiarize yourself with what is on each deck. Embarking, disembarking and excursions were handled with great organization. Don't worry about anything. The Norwegian staff will take care of you.
