Review summary

This is my second Norwegian cruise but will probably be my last. 

Overall good value, food was great

The Good:
- Jimmy our stateroom steward was very nice and did his work great.
- Mary capistrano at the sushi restaurant gave us exceptional service.

The bad:
- Poolside bartenders were never smiling. They kind of made us feel they were doing us a favor. No human interaction what so ever. 
- Great Stirrup Cay bartender Jude de jesus was rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. I asked if he was ok and he didn't even respond. Again making me feel as if I owed him or had done something. This sadly because my memory of the beautiful island.
- Other than the tropical band, the music poolside was too loud. I could even have a conversation with my wife and we were sitting very far from the stage.
- The activities poolside lacked taste. In my previous cruise in Hawaii it was very nice. Not this time. It felt like a cheap springbreak. 
- Buffet layout is very bad. Lots of traffic in tight spaces made every breakfast a frustrating experience. we decided to have breakfast at the dinning room because it was so bad.

I agree with you on poolside bartenders also @Dazzles. Extremely rude & felt like they were doing us a favor. No smiles & no interactions. At one point they were talking amongst themselves in there language. Very uncomfortable

Some people like certain environments and others do not. You figured out what you did not like, crowded buffet style breakfast, and replaced it with breakfast in the restaurant. perfect example of how the cruise ships try to make available different options and environments for activities. Good job...keep up to positive thinking :)
