Review summary

This was our first cruise ever and we loved it so much we booked 2 more cruises with Norweigan. One in December for New Years and one next year to Italy/Greek Isles. Absolutely a wonderful trip and a great experience. We loved the freestyle dinning. Great job Norweigan making us a huge fan of your cruise line.

The staff as a whole were excellent. From Brian our cabin attendent to the 2 young ladies greeting you at the buffet with a huge smile, song and dance. Everyone was attentive and always friendly. They definitely made the trip a good time.

My husband and I both commented on how clean this ship was kept. We always saw someone cleaning, sweeping, painting, wiping down something. Everything was easy to get to from anywhere onboard.
