Review summary

We had an awesome time! 2 complaints: 1) we had the ultimate beverage package, bottled water and mini bar not included, the amount of paper we had to sign to receive a beverage. Why can't Norwegian swipe our room key card with no signature & paperwork required. annoying! 3) on disembarkment it was utter kaos, we had easy off, everyone was on the stairs cramming each other, no direction.

our room attendant was not friendly and seemed bothered when asked to make animals with our towels, my wife loves that

adult pool too small to accommodate all the adults who wanted to hang out in the pool

my wife called in for a surprise for my birthday on departure date (sat) to have our room decorated and receive a cake. she wanted the 4th day to have our room decorated for our anniversary. they decorated our room on the departure day with both birthday & anniversary with 2 cakes. who can eat 2 full size cakes. customer service took care of it but our room attendant seemed put out the error.

Ultimate Beverage pkg rocks! Signing stinks, especially in almost hurricane force winds, but it's up to a value of $1888, so I won't complain! Bring case bottled water! Does not include expresso. Does include all drinks $11 & under and sodas, you will pay small tax on drinks while sitting in Miami port until 3 miles out & in international water. 18-20 yr olds with parent can drink beer & wine w/ parents signature. Great value, enjoy!
