Review summary

Would definitely cruise Norwegian again. Loved it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was rough because it was so hot and the line was long. Key learning….choose either first board time or last board time. Otherwise it was smooth.

Fixed light switch right away. One of the curtain hangers was out of its track and never fixed. Announcements were too muffled because speakers were not working in the room.
