Review summary

I would probably take Norwegian again if it had the itinerary I wanted but if there was another choice, I'd probably go with another cruise line. The ship and staff were great but you go on a cruise for the food too and Norwegian has a long way to go in that department if you're not eating specialty dining. They seem to nickel and dime you all the way through too. Expect a hefty charge at the end of the cruise.

The main dining room Tropicana was pretty good and the specialty dining was excellent. The other free restaurants not so much. The buffet was barely edible so I don't recommend eating there.

Ship tip

Unless you're eating specialty dining every night, don't expect too much from the food.

This port didn't feel very safe. We made the mistake of trying to walk around the town. We made it a block out of the gates and had to turn back around after people started yelling at each other over who was going to follow us around. Stay on the ship.

I found on my last trip Bahamas it was nickel and dime but on the 2 Mediterranean ones - there was none of it. There wasn’t half of the stuff being shoved at you ....

I was on her in June and I neve eat at the buffets or reg dinners the extra dinners were all good but I agree with you usually the free dinners are Olive Garden at best As far as the shows I don't go to them at all but the unlimited drinks make it a no brainer for me
