Review summary

This was our 1st Norwegian Cruise. I have been on about 15-18 cruises. Overall it was pretty good. Didn't impress me enough that I would say I would book with them again. We did like that they had drink & Internet & other incentives.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had excellent service. We ate there 3 times because of the service we received. We had the same server each night. Rooms 15802 & 15800.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Tables were way to high. $25 minimum tables $5.00 chips. Some of the higher tables sat empty all night. What a waste of $$.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Friendly crew- everywhere we went.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Been on other ships and like the open air design better than the closed in center of ship. The walking/running track was way to small and in a congested area.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Loved the bathroom. Rooms were small. Suite room was smaller than standard room on most ships I have been on. Lack of storage. Room service person was great.

Ship tip

This was not our original Port of Calls. We booked this ship because of the Port of Calls that we wanted to go on, so we were not very happy with that.

Ports of call

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Liked the port itself, but did not like how far it was for shore excursion. Did not do shore excursion because of the distance.

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
Had not been to this port in about 10 years- very disappointed. Run down.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Port was aborted because of weather.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Was there on Good Friday- some shops were not open.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Easy to get off- little confusing for luggage.

Some folks who have been on other cruise lines have a tendency to "badmouth" the ones that didn't suit their tastes. When you have planned all year for a vacation, it is best NOT to believe every "review" that you read and just go ahead and have the experience for yourself!😊
