Review summary

This was my first Norwegian cruise because of the current promotions they are running. I wasn't sure about it after reading recent reviews regarding this ship but i was not disappointed at all. The ship is beautiful with the only problem I saw was the pool deck being to small as well as the theater. Besides that the ship was great with amazing food and food options everywhere! I cant wait to go on the escape next!

Wondering if the ship is well staffed, and the employees treated with respect. I have heard that the workload is excessive, and that would ruin my cruise. I would hate to see the ship understaffed or employees treated poorly.
