Review summary

My first Norwegian cruise. I loved it and expect to cruise with them again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good, but needs work on the deserts/sweets. The buffet was a bit unorganized for guests to flow.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Too much space used for activities that were not available during cruising and very limited even at port. (Go Carts and Slides) Needs more Hot Tub space and seating near the pool for the cooler days! Fitness center was top notch and the spa was thoroughly enjoyed by my wife

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved all the shows we watched. They need a bigger venue for the live band "Rock the 80's" as they were PACKED.

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

All were SO Attentive and kind! Mel did a great job with our stateroom! Bars were great too even during busy times.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The main center area was used for entertainment (Live music) but the layout was cluttered as all passing through had to navigate those listening.

Ship tip

Plan ahead for your excursions! We booked late and had limited options!

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

Favorite of all ports

Valencia, Spain Did not visit port

Weather prevented us from stopping at this port

Ibiza, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
Very walkable, with a great charm

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
LOTS of walking by our choice. Notre Dame was incredible, but couldnt get in that day! Love the cobblestone narrow streets with restaurants and shops!

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
Again, very walkable to all important stops! Quaint and beautiful

Cannes, France

4 out of 5
Smaller stop for walking. Beautiful with all the history

Genoa, Italy

4 out of 5
Big modern city with lots of history. Got to know the streets quickly with not much help from google maps!

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
We took the bus to the train station then to Pisa. Pisa is a must, but shouldn't be the entire day! It was awesome climbing the tower

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
We didnt stay in Naples. We went to the Amalfi coast and hit 2 other stops. BREATHTAKING scenery. Guided tour with only 2 other couples!! They were great too!

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Foodie Paradise. We got a small guided walking food tour of Trastevere neighborhood. Highly recommended. Also a private guided 4 hour tour of the city. We saw so much in such a limited time, but it allowed us to decide which we wanted to dive in deeper!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy to use the bus to get to the train. I didnt realize how far it was from the port to Rome!
