Review summary
The favorite part of the cruise was the Maltings Beer and Whiskey Bar. Bartender Shobir Singh was outstanding. Excellent mixologist and a kind heart and soul. Also his bus waiter Abdul. Wonderful teamwork.
Stayed in an inside cabin on Deck 10. Rooms were small. Barely had a foot from bed to wall. Had to walk sideways when got out of bed. Bathroom was ok. But when you sat on the toilet , your knees were rammed in the wall. I'm 5'8 and my fiancé 6'1" . Had to sit sideways on the toilet for leg room.
Food in the Magenta dining room was always barely warm. But tasty.
Sheehans Bar and grill service always extremely slow and someone's food always forgotten.
Garden Cafe awesome. Indian food was exquisite. Sometimes the grits were too watery. But on a whole , food was good. Unfortunately by the time you got your food and found a seat, it was cold. But seating issues eased up once in warmer waters and the outdoor seating opened up.
All in all, Norwegian was a good experience and would definitely travel again. Drink package a plus. Photography awesome. And again, hats off to Shobir Singh bartender in the Matings Beer and Whiskey Bar.
