Review summary

Could have been much better, but Norwegian will not be on our future cruises. Too many issues that they should have handled better. My wife and I have been on 15+ cruises and this was the most disappointing.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Took about 45 minutes. Not too bad

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was generally good. Small portions at times

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Mostly load activities better suited for young persons

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Did not like Navi g to make reservations for shows in main theatre especially if a show is performed four times. Should be able to accommodate all passengers without jumping through hoops

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Very good

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Center section would get very crowded

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Thought our cabin was very narrow. Had to squeeze by the bed going back and fourth. Thought a mini suite would be roomier. Bathroom was larger but wide narrow sink was awkward. Almost not deep enough to wash your face in.

Ship tip

Internet was sketchy and you never new it would work. We took an excursion to the beach that was a waste of time as there was hardly any Beach and poor facilities. Surprised NCL recommended it. Disembarkation was a nightmare due to poor communication from the ship about a refund because we could not go to great stirrup Cay. It held almost every One up and caused much confusion and delays on getting off the ship.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Did not stop

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Beautiful, but short stop. Had to leave by 1 pm.

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

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Horrible, explained above

Sorry the cruise wasn't great, I know that's disappointing. Hoping another line will meet your expectations.

They have a children's program? We have used it on 2 cruises. Guppies for little ones. Teen programs for older kids.
