We had a great time. Lots to keep you busy. I have sailed on Carnival and Royal Caribbean before. This was my first time on Norwegian and it was just as good. Only negative was slow service in all dining rooms- both included and specialty. Overall we had the best time and I would definitely sail Norwegian again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We had booked with Casino Services. We arrived at the port and were checked in immediately. Luckily we had some friends get there by 9 am so we had boarding group 1.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Beverage service was great. We got to know a beverage server early on in the cruise. We treated him well and tipped him nicely and he took care of us the rest of our cruise. Service in all dining rooms was much slower than other cruise lines I have been on but all service was very friendly.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Tons of activities, difficult to choose what to do. I loved the game shows. Only thing I didn't like is it seemed like you had to pay extra for a lot of things.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Loved million dollar quartet. Cirque Dreams and a Steam pretty good but didn't like the seating arrangements. We didn't like Burn the Floor but heard many passengers raving about it. It just wasn't our thing.
We booked an excursion off the ship with Victor Bodden Tours. Only $30 for sloths, monkeys, brief tour of island and 2 hours at the beach. It was wonderful!
We booked excursion off the ship at Jaime's Blue Reef for $55. Jaime and Norma greeted us and took care of us all day. Food and drinks included. Cab ride only $2 to get there but beware they charge you a few dollars more for the ride back but Norma helped us to negotiate. Only drawback was vendors all day asking you to purchase their items but we just kept telling them no politely and they would quietly walk away.
