Review summary

Great cruise and glad to be back on after covid but restrictions from Italy because of covid made this cruise frustrating with lack of entertainment, the fact you had to buy excursions to get off the ship as well as the long embarkation process

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Covid test was quite swift but check in and embarkation long. Not any signage towards the right part of the port meant plenty of passengers ended up in the wrong part

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Norwegian food and drink always good. A great selection within the price point

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Covid meant a lot of areas were not allowed to be used or limited. The activities thay were on were not greatly advertised meaning a lack of people

Entertainment

2 out of 5

No comedian and lack of things to do. At least the cruise was port heavy. Didn't really see the Cruise Director at all

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff always so friendly and good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Love the breakaway class ships. Plenty of space and lovely areas

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Lovely cabin however being at the front of the ship we were often subject to being woken due to the early port calls and operation of anchor and procedures of the docking process
