Review summary

When we got to Miami, the port was kind of messy, Not As nice as Seattle's port. You are packed like going through a amusement line to check in. After check in even if you don't want a I picture they make you go through the line anyhow and then walk around it.

 

When you get on the ship you have so many people trying to get to their rooms also, so what we did was just 1st eat one of the complimentary restaurants. Now the difference between this cruise and our last cruise on Princess, was that princess gave u a set time and it wasn't as crowded.  

 

The other things was that Norwegian cruises crew's didn't seem as friendly as Princess.  They also seemed to push you more on places to shop like they were getting a kick back.  

 

Like I said before, the excursions were great..

 

Overall, I wouldnt sail Norwegian again, crew was not as sociable, and when they did say something I,eyou ask for something to its like they were botheredd to get you anything.

Princess and Norwegian are on the same playing field.

We didn't experience this at all. We found the staff extremely welcoming. They even took us to 'The Haven' to view those suites. Also left a desert tray in our room one night. I guess different ppl have different experiences.
