Review summary

We enjoyed this cruise very much, not only is it a newer ship, with more to offer such as good size gym,casino, and water slides, but entertainment and cabin staffs were wonderful! The only downside was the dining service, service at The Taste (one of the complimentary main dining hall) was terrible! Wait staffs looked mad and not wanting to work there. The internet department staff was very unfriendly too - very impatient with our problem. We only ate at Taste one night and never went back there. We've been on many cruises, including Royal Carribean, Holland America, Disney, and Celebrity, I am sad to say Norwegian's service is the worst.

Ship tip

the cirque de soile dining show was fantastic! Specialty dining were never full, way better food! Ice Bar was fun, a little too pricy (same cost as specialty dining) for the short amount of time we were able to stay

aside from Barcelone, where we stayed for 5 days prior to cruise (thus had a lot of time to fully explore the city), I think my favourite destination was Marseille. It's a big city and our ship docked only a shuttle bus ride away (compared to Rome and Florence, where ship was 1 1/2-2 hours train ride away, which didn't really give us enough time to appreciate the cities). I liked Palma de Mollorca as well but it doesn't have as much to offer as Marseille.
