Review summary

5 Star trip all the way! From the moment we boarded till we departed we were treated with kindness and enthusiasm from the entire crew. Roomy cabins had rich appointments of teak wood, biggest showers~room for two!

Thoroughly enjoyed the free styling food service enabling us to decided when and where to eat. Delicious food choices ranged from lobster tails to sushi to a BBQ on deck to a chocolate buffet.

This was our 18th cruise but first on NCL, but certainly not our last. Looking forward to our next relaxing voyage with you.

Ship tip

Dining room is less crowded the later you go. If you have to wait for a table, they offer you a free glass of champagne ~ a win, win for all!

What we meant was 1st timers to life long cruisers and everybody in between would enjoy this cruise. NCL sets the pace of making it festive from the moment you step on board with music playing, balloons flying, photographers ready to take your picture, plenty of options of drinks and food available as well as a friendly crew directing and assisting you to your cabin. Many of the cruise lines that we have cruised with in the past were much more subdued. It was a great way to start a week of relaxation and fun.

Thanks for the review! Why do you think first-time cruisers will like Norwegian?
