Review summary

Norwegian is my favorite cruise line. I always have lots of fun, great food and great service. I really didn’t get to enjoy the amenities on the ship because they were just too many people. I think if I had a longer cruise I would’ve enjoyed it more, because I would’ve had more time to explore. I prefer the smaller ships. But I still had a great time. If given the chance again I would cruise on the ship, but for a longer selling so that I could really explore everything and enjoy everything. I highly recommend the cirque du Soleil style dinner show, that was awesome and worth every penny. I do not recommend the ice bar, it’s a waste of money and the drinks are nasty. All in all this is a great ship for young people and families. This is not a ship for an older elderly crowd or people that like a more sophisticated fancy atmosphere

Food was Awesome. The specialty dining restaurants were just as good as some of the top restaurants that I’ve been to, especially the French restaurant

Onboard Activities

Cozumel, Mexico

I liked the clear water, But I could not get into it because there was some type of algae or something that time of year. We were kind of rushed at the beach. And the ruins weren’t like I thought they would be. It’s not a port stop that I really enjoyed. I think the beach would be nice at a different time of the year and if there was more time to sit in there

I gravitate towards NCL, too. Freestyle is my style!

I am curious if the sail date is correct and there is really five years between sail and review? The ship, shows and crew will have all changed in that amount of time.
