Overall, we are very happy with the cruise and can't wait to book another. Norwegian was definitely the best choice for us! Since it was our first cruise, we got a FREE UB unlimited beverage package which is like $1200 for 2 people! Lucky for them, we aren't huge partiers! it was gorgeous, the trip was smoothe, the staff was amazing, and the boat was very clean
Embarkation
4 out of 5
No one tells you about parking... it was $98 we didn't expect to spend at the parking garage. Otherwise, embarkation was good, hectic, but we had birth certificates instead of PassPort and it was still smoothe
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Everything was beautiful, everyone was SO nice "WASHIE WASHIE" but there wasn't a meal we walked away from going "WOW!" Food was 'good.' Selection was great, breakfast was the best offerings!!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
If it weren't for the casino, we would have been very bored :( The pools were nice, LOVED the hot tubs, but otherwise, we just walked around. The art gallery was cool but the duty free people were so aggressive on selling that we didn't look around at all.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We ended up doing 2 days of shows and they were phenomenal. We showed up on the staff appreciation and that was AWESOME! Meeting the captain and about 400 other staff! Also, the final night, the show included all the talent in one show and it was great.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
We didn't encounter one single grumpy or rude worker!!! I have nothing but 10/10 to say about staff!!!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
everything was SO clean, BUT i wish they would put dish return trays around here and there. People just leave drinks EVERYWHERE and staff has to look and find them. It didn't seem right. Even if there was a tray on top of trashcans or something... which, there weren't a lot of trash cans either. But the ship was always nice. And thank God for the ship maps everywhere!!!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We actually loved it. Our neighbors were SO LOUD with their TV blaring at all hours but our cabin was awesome. My 6'1" husband had to sit sideways on the toilet but everything else was good.
Easy to navigate in traffic, they don't tell you it's $98 to park in the garage and once you're there, you're stuck, there's no where else to park so it's sorta forced.
The Straw Market terrified me. You MUST visit but don't be a sucker! haha
We did swimming with the pigs here and it was 10/10!!!! We went through a boat tour of Atlantis, pig beach, then snorkling! It was great!!!!
beautiful island. The fairy boat over was a bit exhausting and took forever. We did kayaking here and it was beautiful. Not an easy excursion so be prepared!!
This port was the worst. it's an industrial port... There's NOTHING to do unless you take a 40 minute taxi ride to the beaches. We were terrified we were going to get left or stuck with a huge bill. They charge for everything once you're there, umbrellas, chairs, floats, it was a racket but the water was gorgeous so we made the best of it.
Glad you had fun! We love Ncl the staff and included options are great.
I agree that one trip to the straw market is enough. Swimming with pigs in fun!
