Wonderful cruise . Would advise to book before October sailings. Take comfort clothing and shoes. Be prepared for a large amount of knowledge and appreciation along with being somewhat overwhelmed. Take lots of photos, you will appreciate them when you catch your breath.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Norwegian has a wonderful process in place with an adequate staff who is willing and waiting to help. Always a pleasant process.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffets were plentiful,but not memorable or exciting, specialty restaurants are always a treat. The main dining room "Taste" was excellent and the best dining choice in my opinion.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Lots of activities on many different activity levels. Lots of things going on to participate in and or just to watch.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great entertainment !!! Shows, games, cruise staff and many others. The escape room was a refreshing addition.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Our cruise was the last of the European season and the service staff seemed to be a little worn and ready for a break. Not offensive by any means, just not to the level I expected from Norwegian.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was very well maintained. I did miss the outdoor area of walkways and dining that some of the other ships have.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Amazing Cabin, Amazing Balcony, Unbelievable Storage and a FULL SIZE BATHTUB WITH JETS !!!
The only negative to the cabin was the lighting, it was not sufficient for a cabin of its size.
Ship tip
Don't buy the Concierge App. It is extremely flawed and problematic. If you decide to eat in the Buffet area, find seating before visiting the buffet. Your food gets cold on your plate while trying to find seating otherwise.
We did a private excursion to the Amalfi Coast which was beyond AMAZING !!! I used Aldo Limos for our tour of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, along with various areas in Naples
Very disappointing. City was beautiful but excursion booked through Norwegian was not completely disclosed as to all elements being closed due to national holiday and tour costs were not refunded to us. We paid $400.00 for a 8 hr walk through crowed streets and got to view 1 church.
We chose an excursion to San Giamano and San Donato Farm. This is THE EXCURSION TO DO !!!!! it is not promoted like it should be but, was an Amazing, Enlightening , Fullfilling Day! Do not miss this one !!
Thank you for this helpful and thorough review. I'm booked for this sailing in 2018. It will be my first NCL experience. You've given me valuable advice.
