Review summary

We were very disappointed in Norwegian. Being first time cruises for this line and we could compare to carnival,r’ royal Caribbean and Holland. Region nickels and dime shoot to death. Everything is a charge. The food quality is great if you want to pay an extra $40 per meal per person.

If you’re willing to take a two hour wait to go up a cliff and a three hour wait to come back down the cliff then you will love the place. We had a five hour stop over and that’s all we did is go up a cliff and down cliff.. the island cannot handle seven cruise ships at the same time. It can barely handle one if that. The infrastructure cannot handle the multitude of people from the cruise ships. Long lines and no infrastructure for bathrooms or roads or anything else for that matter.
