Review summary

I was curious to experience the "free style" dining that Norgewian has been promoting so we book a week cruise on one of their new ship. Turned out that out of 27 restaurants only 5 were included and didn't required an upcharge furthermore out of the 5 that were available 3 shared the same menu every day making it a very limited choice of food. The quality of the food was acceptable but nothing specials and most restaurant closed at 9:30 making it hard to go to shows. One evening I had a cup of "Boullaibaise" however the chef left the parts of the mussle's shell so I cut my lips. other than the food the cruise was fine but hard to get over the food issues.

make sure to look for the long term parking since the parking accross from the ship is short term and cost more than double
