Review summary

I think this trip spoiled us forever. The ship was spacious and only 40 percent occupied. The ports were the best. The weather was great, and the seas always flat. Can't wait to do this again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

At 40% occupied, everything was wonderful, food, service, no waiting. Always ate when we wanted to (Norwegian's anytime dining) and sat by the window.
