Review summary

The cabins were very comfortable and roomy, I've been on other cruises and this is the first time with Norwegian, in comparison it was easier to get off and on the Norwegian ship, others we would wait in line for ever.  There was of course plenty of food and we never had a problem finding any good places to sit.  The crew were great, the entertainment was fabulous and all of the staff regardless of what job they were doing, or where they were located. always looked happy and smiled a lot.  I dreaded a 16 day cruise as this is the longest one we've ever done, but Norwegian made us feel as though it wasn't that long.  I loved the Panama Canal and the DVD the ship made of us traveling down the Canal, A great keepsake.  They went the extra mile on everything and I would definitely use them again in the future.

wished they had a laundry service that the public could use, I'm picky and don't like sending them away to be washed elsewhere.

I got up early to head to level 8 to get a better view of the lochs and it was too busy, in the end we watched it from the luxery of our balcony that was better. Really amazing
