Review summary
We do not blame Norwegian but we had cold, windy and rainy days all most the full week. 2 ports were cancelled and one was not cancelled but all the activities were canceled. That was also Christmas day so not a lot was open to begin with. My point is, the passengers were already in a bad mood from the weather, cancelled plans and being stuck inside. The Norwegian made it worse by not opening venues to give us something to do. They would add another origami class, that is not cutting it.. Indulge Food Hall is amazing and should be massively bigger. Also people should be able to sit at any station and order anything. so many seats sat empty when a lot of people wanted in. You cant help that everyone in your group does not want to have salad just because you do and therefore you cannot set at the salad stall. I would understand if it was a pay-as-you-go but it is all included, why does Norwegian care where people sit? The buffet is okay but WAY too small with no wear near enough seating. Having to take your food to the other side of the ship to find seating is ridiculous. It looks like this ship has a lot of outside space, but that is not really true. For example, the back deck that is meant for casual siting and drinking. This area was over run with people looking for sunlounge space. Everything was wet and pushed all around to try and make lounger space out of seating space. In the evening you could not enjoy this as seating space because it was wet from the sun bathers earlier in the day. Yuck. You could not get any frozen drinks in the back lounge area! (Sol bar?) The Observatory Lounge was completely FREEZING all the time. I would routinely see people inside with multiple layers or even blankets! Also it was not a quiet area. It was rather loud with kids playing games and people talking or playing other game and having a good time. I don't have a problem with have fun, I just thought this was more of a quiet conversation or read a book space. I guess they were forced to take this space over because they had no place lese to go!Embarkation
