Review summary

Would not go again. Norwegian seemed desparate to upsell at every chance they got. Got so you felt you had to dodge walking past the "Art" gallery or the ubiquitous jewelry and watch stores.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was OK. Previous cruise was late arriving so there was some congestion and backup at first

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Sent back 3 dinners, NY Strip Steak so tough I had to spit out gristle 3 times. Buffet actually had an entree "Sliced Hotdogs in BBQ Sauce". In fairness, La Bistro was very good. La Cucina not so much
