Review summary

This was my second time on Norwegian, first cruise with them was 9 years ago and there was nothing to do. Couldn't wait to get off. This cruise was great as far as entertainment, at night there was so much going on it was amazing. But, the everywhere the space was way to small. The main concern for this company seems to be capacity. Almost 5000 people on a ship and the pool is so small I didn't get a chance to swim in 7 days. The children's pool was so full the kids had no space to play. All the entertainment areas are way to small. The buffet was I'm posible to get a seat. The restaurants you had to wait.

I've done many other cruises and decided to give Norwegian a second chance, I regret spending so much money. I will never go on a Norwegian cruise again!

I agree the pool was pretty crazy but we were booked in a spa balcony so we were always in the spa pool anyways as I had no desire to be crazy sunburned on my honeymoon. Sorry you had a lousy time. I loved it so much I am going again this November. I have been on other lines before and this is by far my favorite!

Unfortunately, you focused on all the negative and lost 7 days. ‚ So sorry to read this. ‚ One bad experience and I put it on‚ paper forthwith to the hotel manager. ‚ They want to help, even if it's just a sorry note and a fruit basket. ‚ At least you made an attempt to notify the right people, then you can refocus and get back to your vacation. ‚ I have been on a‚ ship or two‚ that‚ ‚ made me say what am I doing here, but once I recognize‚ ‚ this attitude I refocus and search out the positive, you only have 7 days to do it. ‚ ‚

I love this cruise but I have to admit the only thing I can agree with is the buffet it was very hard to find seats for breakfast but this was the best cruise I ever been on

I was on the same cruise. Pool was crowded but tolerable and they are always crowded no matter what ship. This cruise was fantastic. Never waited to eat and always found a place to sit.

We had no complaints on this ship. I love the anytime dinning. We never waited. One night we waited a while for our food but not a big deal. Every ship I have been on the pool area is crowded.

Wow. I don't know if u were on the same ship as me!!! My family went during the middle of spring break and the ship was sold out...no major lines or waiting for any restaurant, bar, no problem getting into a pool. Longest wait was for the speed slides and that was 10 minutes at the most. It's an awesome ship with amazing features and great crew.
