Review summary

Everything costs extra. I have been on 4 NCL cruises and always found them superior but I don’t like the free style cruising and I was surprised to find them inferior to Carnival. I talked to others who felt the same way.

It was good just a little small for a suite and the design was annoying

Ship tip

Pay for all the dining and drinking and Wifi plans. Book your entertainment before you get on the ship or immediately upon boarding

Ports of call

New York, New York

3 out of 5

Norfolk, Virginia Did not visit port

The whales were migrating or something. Norwegian let us know after we sailed that we would not be going there.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
We did 3 excursions. They were good. We had to change from our original excursions due to the weather.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We were late coming into port due to an engine failure on the ship so we arrived at 8:09 instead of 5:00 which caused crowded and late disembarkation.

We enjoy Norwegian Cruise line for the freestyle dining. Not only is it pretty laid back and casual, but you don't have an assigned table or a specific time that you have to be there. And you can choose to dine by yourself, or dying with another couple or more and make new friends. That is your choice.

So you’ve been on 4 NCL cruises, but you don’t like Freestyle cruising? I’m confused.

Interesting that you said you have been on 4 NCL cruises, but didn’t like Freestyle cruising, which they have had for years, and seemed surprised by extra cost items that have cost extra for years also.
