Review summary

Our first time cruise with Norwegian was best first impression! We dined, slept, participated in activities, went on excursions in an open plan way- no one to call us for dinner, lunch or breakfast- no one to tell us to please keep it quiet because everyone is sleeping- on Norwegian half the ship is always up and about- but from our stateroom we didn't hear a thing!

Our Steward was the absolute best vacation hero- well prepared and accommodating he made sure not one detail was missing. And when we needed extra things he was right there to make sure we got it.

Never had wanted to go on a cruise- but Norwegian convinced me that it was some thing I should do more often!

Thanks - you guys made it happen!

Just the right size for a couple- the minimalist design fit us perfectly!

Ship tip

Make sure you take advantage of the unlimited drink package they offer on the first day onboard before the ship sails- it adds up quickly otherwise. Pack a 10 item capsule wardrobe of things you love to wear- but take one dressy item-

I suggest you pay the extra money and get a balcony. I've stayed in all the cabins, and the balcony is the only way to go. Inside cabins seem small and claustrophobic, outside cabins give you a feeling of more space and cabins are generally bigger with the ability of steping out into the balcony and air ours the room. Either way, enjoy your cruise.

if you don't mind my asking, what style cabin did you have? this will be my first time on Norwegian Line.
