Review summary

THe balcony rooms are amazing the biggest rooms we have ever sailed in!! Still do no like freestyle dining and was disappointed in the food selection overall.  Even on cheaper cruise lines when get a lobster tail without paying for it! WE did make sure and find a waiter we liked and requested him at each dining which made dining much better.  My biggest diappointement was in the photography!!!!  Back drops not good and using the digital back drops made shadows.  Poor areas for photos and the photographers did not make sure no shadows or people in back ground for prof pics!  Also pricey for poor photos. Very upsetting.  ONe of the shows was great the other just so so.  Great amount of bars to chose from and we did find our favorite at Tobacco Road  they were AMAZING..HENRY RUTH AND STAFF ABSOLUTELY GREAT!! WIth norweigan the booze package is the way to go.... no limits!! WE had not been on this large of ship on a very long time and it was beautiful.  STill need more staff / passenger ratios!!  Getting on and off ship was a breeze!! Cruising is the best!!!

Food and Dining

Was good in free rest..... had better.... we did have a specialty dining for out anniversary and was good. Reserving for dining a joke they just seat you as you come regardless of reservation.

THese balcony rooms are absolutely amazing...... large and clean and so new and upgraded. THe balcony made it perfect!!! Could spend alot of timein room:)

Ship tip

If you want a new large ship with upgraded everything then go!!! Dont let the amount of passengers scare you...... you really wont notice. Do drink package and check into specialty dining if you like to dress up and be treated as such. Otherwise you will have shorts and t shirts next to you:(
