Review summary

With this being our first cruise I was nervous about what to expect. I spent the months leading up to it watching YouTube videos and reading ALL reviews the good and the bad. This was the a very relaxing and fun time. Will do another cruise again and with Norwegian.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We did not care for main dining for dinner but enjoyed them for lunch. Had breakfast and dinner in buffet. Had Cagney and La Cucina as our 2 specialty dining both more food then we could eat and very good

O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar and Grille

4 out of 5

My son ate here numerous times on our 5 days cruise. I went once it was good food however staff not very attentive. Had a glass that was cracked sat with cracked glass for 10 minutes before I could get anyone’s attention. Service a little slow at least out of all the places we ate. However overall a good place to get great food.

Burn the Floor

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every staff we came across was super friendly, helpful and always had a smile.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean even in the buffet staff was always keeping tables clean and used dishes picked up.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin for the 2 of us was a good size, very clean, plenty of storage space. Balcony was small and hard to get around each other if both were out there together. Overall no real complaints. Bathroom was bigger then I expected. Having a shower door instead of a curtain was great. Plenty of room to turn around and shower.

Ship tip

Watch as many YouTube videos and read all(good and bad) reviews. But keep an open mid about everything and have a good time.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Because we had a 5:30pm flight out we did the city tour. It was very informative my 17 yr old son thought it was a very interesting.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Because we did the tour of the city it was easy and painless. Met in the Tropicana dining room at 8:30am we then just followed a staff member off ship to baggage and out through customs.

Izzyhovig the dinner menus were just something we did not care for. Not saying they were bad by any means. The items we chose were not to our liking.

What was wrong (in your opinion) with dinner at the Main dining rooms? We are currently sailing on NCL Getaway, and feel that the selection is varied, the food is not bland or too salty, and the attention by the servers is warm.
