The food was so good!! We were even impressed with the buffet! So many choices and the quality was amazing!!

The Manhattan Room

5 out of 5

This was our favorite restaurant for many reasons: 1. It's free! 2. The atmosphere is so nice - inviting, yet a bit upscale 3. Service was awesome - friendly and attentive 4. Food was AMAZING! 5. Having the opportunity to listen to live bands and dance with dinner was so nice!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Main pool was a bit crowded on sea days - but that is to be expected. The options on board for activities were so good! Multiple water slides, putt-putt, ropes course with zipline, waterfall rock area in the adult area....everything was awesome!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The caliber of shows onboard was the highest quality of talented. We were so impressed! That being said, I didn't care for the fact that one entertainment option offered was "For the Record: The Brat Pack" and was full of sexual content and foul language. It was poor taste compared to the rest of our experience and I was very disappointed with Norwegian's choice of entertainment with that selection. The actors and actresses were very talented in that show - but the content was very disappointing.

Children's Programs

Ship tip

Ladies, bring a sweater for the evenings cause the air conditioning can get a bit chilly. Bring multiple swimsuits cause you live in them all cruise long! Also, if planning excursions, check out things on your own. You will save a lot of money by booking things yourself or waiting and booking with a local.
