Review summary

Norwegian did a great job of working with our airline to get our main luggage onboard after the airline lost it. Appreciated the great attitude of the entire staff. Only criticism is the constant attempts to get you spending more money (could not enjoy the awesome Spinnaker Lounge due to the constant sales pitches booked in the room).

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Might not be the ideal design given that the weather was too cold to use the outdoor pools.

Ship tip

For speciality meals, La Cucina was the best (Cagney’s was a little disappointing).

My husband and I felt the same about Cagney’s last June when we sailed on the Jewel. Le Bistro was so much better. (We’re steak people, but were not very impressed with the quality of steaks we got (ribeyes). Not sure if we’re just spoiled with the good steaks we get here in Indiana or not.)

Glad you had a good trip. We went to Alaska in July on NCL, and it was a great trip, too. It was too chilly in July for the pool.
