Review summary

We understood when we booked on Norwegian that we were not going to receive the type of service we were accustomed.   The ship was large, clean, and the food was good. Staff and officers were excellent and professional.  We enjoyed the Prime Meridian bar; the Wine tasting, and the live entertainment in main dining room was excellent. The French and Italian Specialty restaurants were very good.  The quality of the free entertainment was excellent.  The beverage package had a good quality assortment. The mini suite room had a large bathroom with double sinks and large shower; however, the balcony could barely fit two chairs and a tiny table.  The negatives were the many extra charges on ship; charge for room service; paying for entertainment; charges for lobster; steaks; certain appetizers etc. Our biggest complaint was that cigarette smoke from the casino lingered on the 6,7,8 floors including outside seating on the starboard 8th deck.  Harvest Cay was beautiful, overpriced; minimal shade, not enough lounge chairs and the food and beverage package did not apply.  We had fun the weather was 85 and no snow in sight!

the cruise line wants to keep in with gamblers in the casino, hence allowing smoke! they make 1000's off the smokers who would spend less time there if not allowed to smoke.

We traveled on this same cruise the week before you and our experience and impressions are similar.

Smoking should done outside, I'm an ex smoker and only smoked outside even in my own house during Chicago Winters. I always That it was rude and disrespectful to smoke indoors I also don't wear perfume on airplanes out of concern someone is allergic to it triggers a migraine Little common sense mixed with consideration goes a long way

cigarette smoke from the casino is enough to not cruise on that ship again. smoking causes some of my health issues so that is enough reason to cruise with someone else. without the dinning package I think you would get bored before the cruise was over of the food. we did enjoy the shows.
