Review summary

Nice ship, ports are nice, but we had already visited these before, but the itinerary changed due to the hurricane. I don't like Ocho Rios and will avoid going on shore there again.

Ship tip

Forget bringing water on board. They confiscate it. We brought some 16 oz bottles even though we bout 6 1 liter bottles in the room. Try carrying a liter bottle in your purse. Could only get small bottles in the bar for $3.50. ouch! We were very upset with this issue, as my wife goes through 3 bottles a day. Decided to cancel our future booked cruises and went to Princess instead. Norwegian wants to make A LOT on drinks. Bought a bottle of wine in the restaurant for $38.00 and they charged me an additional serving fee of $9.48.
