Review summary

I have never cruise before so this was fun and exciting. It was a transatlantic so I wasn't expecting great weather for sea days and it was pretty much what I expected. Had issues with two excursions basically a Gibraltar Excursion out of Malaga which was extremely upsetting when we were told we needed Visa stamps but Norwegian Cruise Line said we didn't so we returned away. Rain damp and a few other excursions but other than that I really enjoyed the cruise had great fun at great people and will definitely go again

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Due to the weather there wasn't much we could do outside during sea days. The fitness center was good

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The entertainment was good choir of men was amazing but a lot of the other items became very repetitive. The lineups to get into these entertainment performances were way too long

Children's Programs

No kids
