Review summary

This was my second cruise with Norwegian. This cruise ship is smaller compared to Norwegian breakaway. But it was equally fun! You may experience rocking on your first day at sea because of the tide, but it wasn't too bad. It is very relaxing and so much fun!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy embarkation experience! Didn't take long at all to board, and the Norwegian crew served us breakfast and juice at the port even before we got on the ship. Very relaxing!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Lots of varieties! The service was excellent! The dessert menu was always a plus!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Love the fitness classes. $49 unlimited class pass for a week, and you can try all kinds of different things. The Jacuzzi was not that busy either because of a smaller cruise ship, so I had a lot of chances for a hot bath!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Try the chocolate/wine tasting event, you will like it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was always friendly. They always carry a big smile, and helped whatever you need. They are the reason for me to go back.

Cabin / Stateroom

I had a connecting room with my family who lived next door. This room was slightly smaller than my parents' room. But it had everything I needed! It was always clean too. Our steward was very friendly and excellent!

Ship tip

Definitely would love to go back to Bermuda with Norwegian! There are too many places to visit in one trip!

Ports of call

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5
Excellent port, just leaving right from home! The disembarkation was so easy!

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Very great port, lots of shopping areas, and i did a few outdoor runs right from outside of the cruise. It is very easy to get on public transportation to go where you want to visit.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Can't believe it was how easy it was! It took me less than 1 hr from waiting at the atrium to get out of the port.
