Review summary
Our worst cruise ever! Never again taking Norwegian. Be prepared to wait 3 hours before getting on the ship. That’s only the beginning. The cabin bathroom had several unaddressed plumbing issues. The ship is not large enough for the number of passengers they take on which made going to the buffets worse than Walmart on Black Friday. We could never get a table to sit at meal time. They skipped over Stirrup Cay despite the weather being perfectly sunny and calm. At the last minute they claimed the tender boats would have trouble. This was strange since other cruise ships could be seen stopping there that day. The food and entertainment was mediocre at best! Disembarkation was almost as bad taking over 2 hours. Norwegian seems to be very disorganized and was a big disappointment from our experience.Embarkation
