Review summary
Norwegian was great and good and drinks was fantastic. I booked al excursions outside the CruiseLine and saved lot of money. If your air is included in the package based on the return flight check about port valley as soon as you board. Ado make sure you get off the ship by 7am if you want to do excursions and spend enough time at ports.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Savor Restaurant - Main Dining Room
Great convenience. We walked in anytime during open hours with no hassle. Good staf. And great menu. This goes for both Taste and Savor. I pick these included complimentary restaurants over the Buffett if you have time to relax and not on schedule for other activities.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Great food. Friendly staff. They had a table for all 20 of us together.
Observation Lounge
Not enough room. They do have lounge chairs and all were taken every time we went there.
Teppanyaki
Wonderful food, entertainment and people. I didn’t have reservations but we spoke to the manager who got us a table promptly to accommodate all 20 of us.
The Private Room at Taste
Fantastic food and people

Ship tip
Make sure you get the drink package and specialty dining package. Restaurants were not rowdies at all. We went with group of twenty and every day we walked in there were room. We did make reservations emailing their group bookings about month in advance to make sure al 20 of us got in at the same table.
