Review summary

Was disappointed with Norwegian and would not cruise with then again. Royal Caribbean has more to offer and better activities.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Slow process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Cagneys was good but over priced. Went to Hasaki which wasn't good. My steak and chicken was dry and had no flavor and was over priced. The children's menu was more for babies not kids 8 and up. Regular dinning missed the marks with food selection and service at times was not good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

There were only a couple pools on this ship same with hit tubs. They were packed most times. Activities such as the racetrack, darts, and put put you had to pay. That was a total miss for us. Royal Caribbean doesn't charge you for such activities and they have more activities for kids and adults.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Absolutely sucks. Donna Summer show and Price and Right was okay but nothing like Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Total miss for us.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

Daughter was bored and not able to attend most shows because was 18 and up.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Again most servers were not able to remember what we ordered. Had to ask and ask for things and didn't check back on us.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Appears well maintained but not on floor 18 kids area. That was nasty most times.
