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

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

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.
