Ship Quality

5 out of 5
incredible ship without the "cheesy," cruise ship atmosphere.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I love aft facing balconies but I wish I had gone for the suite.

Ship tip

If you buy a package that includes gratuities, watch for the "additional," gratuitiy. Trying to get extra money when I've already paid for it made me less trusting of Norwegian

Disembarkation

3 star only because of the storm that closed The Port of Miami. Otherwise it went relatively well.

Wonder what the extra gouge was for, and what the food exception was?

Relaxing, Fun, Excellent Cruise on the Caribbean
Enjoyed the experience
Very Forgettable....But Cruises are what you make of them. Unfortualtley we had to spend a lot of time accepting substandard as the norm.
