Review summary

Overall, a good experience. Noisy neighbors whose kids ran in the halls of the ship all hours of the day and night. Would do some different shore excursions if I go again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Norwegian terminal was very busy and some of the staff were rude when we were checking in. Some areas of the terminal were dirty. Overall experience was OK, but it would have been better is the staff was more friendly.

Two of the three shows we attended were excellent. The other was OK, but I was not a fan of the music style.

We did not have children with us.

Service and Staff

Most of the ship staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. We particularly like our Steward , Sosato. He was fun and took care of all our needs.

Ship tip

The only complaint we had was there were kids running up and down the halls by out room for almost the entire cruise. We complained to the staff and they said they would look into it, but it never stopped. We even stopped the kids and asked them to please not run, but they ignored us. The running in the halls was all day long and lasted until after midnight every night. It's a shame people don't have common courtesy and respect for others.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Falmouth, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Went to the Blue Water Resort beach for the day. Was ok, but crowded. The almost stacked the beach chairs so close you could hardly walk through. Jerked chicken lunch was good.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Went on the Discover SCUBA excursion here. It was fun.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Beautiful place to visit, but again it was very busy.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Town was dirty and the shore excursion with Seahorse Sail and Snorkel was not worth the money. There were five or six catamarans all at the same snorkel place, each with 50 to 60 people onboard. There were 200 to 300 people in the water snorkeling. Some fish there, but they left because of the huge crowd. Would not recommend that excursion.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Got off the ship early and missed most of the crowd.
