Review summary

Out of 12 cruises this was the nicest ship I've been on. It's beautiful. Most other things were meh though. After midnight was great but the other entertainment options were very disappointing. The fact that this ship only has one small pool was also an odd design choice. There's a second pool in the haven area but you have to pay a premium price to access it. As a vegetarian the food was very disappointing. I've been on 12 cruises and this by far had the worst vegetarian food on it. Strange because my last Norwegian cruise three years ago had the best vegetarian food. On more than one night there was no vegetarian appetizer other than three types of similar salads. Another night, there was only one salad as a choice. The last night of the cruise there was no entrée choice other than the single pasta option. There were many dishes in the menus that you'd think would be vegetarian, like potato gnocchi, but I was told they weren't. The limited selection continued over into the other restaurants as well. If you're a vegetarian expect to live off of veggie burgers (careful because they gave me two turkey burgers even I asked for vegetarian!), Indian food, and pizza. The excursions are priced extremely high, which is typical of a cruise I suppose. But, some of the exact same excursions are priced twice that of those found on carnival. The salsa and salsa excursion costs $120 pp on this ship. It's $60 pp on carnival. I'd say use trip advisor and book excursions on your own. You can't go wrong with Mr Sanchos I'd you're visiting cozumel Shops on the ship are also the worst that I've seen. Most of it is watches, perfume, and high end jewelry. Also, the air horn they constantly use in the shows on the ship is annoying as f****.
