Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Buffet was very bland, or too spicy. Different than the first 2 cruises we took. Hamburgers were terrible, grey on the inside, did not look like beef. Bacon was tasteless and greasy. Ice cream tasted watered down. Very disappointing. Presentation,however, was spot on!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool played horrible elevator music. Much different than the 2 previous cruises with Norwegian. I even asked that they change it to no avail.

Did not go to any shows
