Review summary

This was my husbands very first cruise and I had been trying to convince him for years to go on one vs. just traveling to a country and staying in a resort. He finally agreed and absolutely LOVED it. He said he will ONLY do cruises going forward, yay!! So Thankful to Norwegian for making it a vacation to remember. Next cruise is already booked!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

So thankful they took such pride in their meals as my husband is a big foody

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So thankful there was so much to do. We enjoyed the pool, the outside bars, the Ice Bar was very cool and different, the night club was fun to do a little dancing, plus all the shows in the evening. The shows were Top Notch!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

LITERALLY the Best!! I am a former Professional dancer and current Judge, and they had a Dance show on there that was SPECTACULAR. Truly enjoyable. I also enjoyed the Junked show. It was a dinner show and cost extra, but it was really cool.

Children's Programs

We did not take our children on this cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every staff member was amazing and so helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Everything was always clean and well taken care of. Thankful to come back each evening to a clean room with turn down service. Truly enjoyed our trip and already made deposits for our next one.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

LOVED having the balcony. This was the first time I booked a balcony and it was well worth the money.

Ship tip

The French restaurant is an upgrade and WELL WORTH IT. By far the best restaurant on the ship.
