Review summary

The ports we visited were good, however, we did not have enough time to spend in St. Thomas.  We did not do any excursions because they did not have any good ones to choose from at any of the ports.  Most were water related. They have too many specialty restaurants that you had to pay for and the service was slow at the free restaurants.  We also had one waiter in the private dining that was just sorry.  He carried on a conversation with the table behind us instead of taking our order.  We spilled water on the table and he didn't even change the table cloth.  He put a dry napkin over the wet area and served us dessert. Unacceptable. We have traveled with two other cruise lines and this one was the worse.  We will not be going with Norwegian again unless it is free. The beds in the mini suites were too small and curved, which made sleeping uncomfortable.

Plan ahead for time you will be exploring the island

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5
You have to schedule your tender to get on a boat to go to the island, you will lose a lot of time if you schedule late. Book your reservation as far in advance as possible.
