Review summary

Only my 2nd Norwegian Cruise , May try another cruise line next time. But want to commend the staff they are exceptionally friendly and a lot of my complaints are not the staffs fault

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Uninformative , poor instructions and confusing

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food was cold and tasteless in garden cafe. Specialty dining was better, poor service at osheehans

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Non existent

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The cruise dancers definitely need to chill their harmones, they are way too sexually explicit and it was sickening to watch. But the band was great.

All the workers on ship were fabulous and friendly, except one in osheehans and one in Italian restaurant.
