Review summary

The ship's facilities and programs were good and the crew was nice. The included a stop at Freeport which did not offer much to do. The next stop at Nassau was better with many activities to choose from. The visit to Atlantis was good, however it is ridiculously expensive for few hours access to the facility food and drinks. Do we opted for a short tour on a boat to see the island and the villas next to Atlantis and had a chance to see the fish and feed them.

Overall the the ship and the activities on board made up for the disappointment of Freeport.

I will certainely research the islands or the stops the ship makes before embarking on my next cruise to enjoy the trip better.

I advise cruisers to check the invoice well as I was charged for using the water in the refrigerator while I did not. I asked the receptionist to credit me back and she promised to do so after room service checks the refrigerator. Today is September 22 and the charge I see on my credit card is even few dollars more than the invoice I was given. I will call Norwegian to check on this.

Remember to research where you're going before your trip. The pricey excursion really had no tie to your cruise- it was your choice with price known going into it. My experience was that this was a great weekend cruise, with great food, especially in the main dining rooms, and lots to do. Fun getaway!
