Review summary
We had a great time. Norwegian gave us a great experience. The staff is very friendly, everything is very sanitary, and the food is really great.
Excursions are nice but way too expensive, and the rules somewhat unfair. For example, you should be given the option of cancelling an excursion to the beach if the surf is too rough and swimming in not allowed on that day.
Don't bother with the internet package. The speed of the service on board is almost unusable. They shouldn't be selling such a poor product at such an outrageous price. They advertise that this is available in the cabins, but the speed in there is even worse than in the public areas.

Ship tip
Chairs at the pool are hard to come by, everyone gets up really early and claims chairs by putting towels on them. Shows are really good, and they had plenty of seats available. Get there 15 minutes early for a decent seat.
