Review summary

We love freestyle cruising and traveling with Norwegian. We have always been treated well

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was speedy and very efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
every meal was delicious. We don't do buffets, so all of our meals were in the sit down restaurants and we could not have been happier. The food and wait staff were just fabulous

Spiegel Tent - Cirque Dreams and Dinner

5 out of 5

cirque dreams was magnificent. I still can't believe some of the things I saw. What a beautiful and intimate show and setting. We had a fabulous 3 course meal followed by the show. The performers were only a few feet from us...WOW!! Pay the extra...it's worth it!!

Taste

5 out of 5

We ate most breakfasts and dinners in taste and we could not have asked for better food or service

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
we did not partake in many activities. We were relaxing and catching up on our reading. We did play in the casino every night (without any luck)

Entertainment

5 out of 5
all of the stage shows were very professional and beautifully done.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
never had a problem of any kind. everyone did a great job and was extremely courteous

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
wonderful except the restrooms need to be better marked. some were hidden and difficult to locate. in addition the room layout is funny. you enter the room with the toilet on the left and the bathtub on the right with sliding glass doors. you had better not be traveling with a friend or acquaintance because there is no privacy. they also need better signage which tell you how to get to the elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
please see the above statement. We would have preferred a large shower instead of the bathtub with shower. Also the tub is fairly high and older persons would have a difficult time getting in and out.

Ship tip

on the days at sea you better have your lounge chair by 7:30 AM because the veteran cruisers get there early.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
super time..especially at the bars along the water

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
went to Atlantis for the day. We had a great day

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5
stayed in the port and just visited the shops and Jimmy Buffet's place for drinks and shopping

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
took a catamaran and stingray trip. It didn't last too long and it was mostly just the young girl trying to sell you pictures she took of you with the stingrays. the problem was it was $50 and all she does is mail them to your email address. good luck with that!!

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
It was a very relaxing day but we never found the buffet. the fish tacos were excellent though.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
perfect except for trying to get yourself and your suitcases down from the 13th floor. We waited for an elevator for almost 45 minutes before I decided to carry them down the stairs out of frustration. Ouch!! That was tough!!
