Entertainment

1 out of 5

AWFUL Not the great entertainment that we have had on other cruises/ships with Norwegian

Escape Theater

1 out of 5

I was appalled at the FREE beer with Choir of Man. Why does everything have to revolve around drinking. I don't drink and also dislike the bottle of complimentary wine that is put in my stateroom. Why can you not come up with something to present to passengers that don't drink alcohol.

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

A smile from almost everyone. Great service

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very nice

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Size was good. I did miss the drawers that we had on other ships and the shelves are small and need something to keep things from falling off.

Ship tip

be prepared for crowds. It wasn't as bad as the reviews but there are a lot of people. If you don't like crowds it's no for you. At least there are areas to get away like the Waterfront.
