Review summary

Will never cruise with Norwegian again!!! Ship had to little to do for the amount of people on it. We could never find a chair to lay in and the 30 minute rule never applied. To small of pools and not enough hot tubs for families. We felt overwhelmed by the crowds of people everywhere. Just hated the whole experience. Back to Royal we go!!!!

Loved the MDR and Cagneys.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Not enough to do. We were board and frustrated becasue the little bit that was available to do always had huge line ups. So there never go to bowl, play shuffle board nor ping pong. Not enough pool space for kids. I did not find this ship to be family friendly at all.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The Brat Pack was horrible, poorly acted and executed. The ONLY shining star in this cast is the platinum blond female - wow what a voice - and the only reason we didn't walk out. It was a total bore and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Service and Staff

To small for the amount of families aboard

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Very poor layout of deck space. Far to many people aboard for the size of the ship. I felt completely smothered everywhere I went.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

For a mini suite this was small compared to other ships I have been on. Beds were great. Pillows were horrible. When we payed down on the bed I noticed splattere stains on the headboard. Gross! I brought Lysol wipes so I had to clean the headboard.

Ship tip

Don't do it. We had free 250 minutes as well as bought a package for my daughter and we were constantly down at the Internet cafe complaining about the connect which was non existent. We were not the only ones. Huge line up to complain and the manager honestly didn't seem to care, he said there was not much he could do about it a lot of people had the same issues. You need better toilet paper. Loved washy washy but get rid of Tyler, we can't stand him.
