Review summary

Overall I was disappointed with Norwegian, the destinations, and the food. This was my first and probably last time doing such a short cruise and I think that was probably part of the problem. The staff don't really get to know you and your name because everyone is in and out in a couple days. The ship wasn't very impressive overall. My favorite part of the ship was definitely the hot tubs as they had a good amount of them. The shops were eh, not much to look at our purchase.

 

The food was terrible, to the point where my parents and I had food being sent back from the main dining room. The cruise I went on with NCL in Europe had amazing food, so this was a huge disappointment. The service in the main dining room was slow slow slow. It was chaos.

 

The stops were eh. Bahamas was ok, not sure why such a big hype about it though. I would never go back there. We did a food trading tour which was nice but overall just not my type of place. Some of the shops on the main strip were nice and bought some cool clothes. 

 

NCL private island was ok, but water was too cold to get in to in December so we were sitting outside baking. The only people in the water for the most part were the kids. We paid extra to have a clam shell around our chairs which was helpful, but it got sooo freaking hot that it was uncomfortable. Make sure to get their early if you want a clam shell because they started running out of them quickly. We did do the jet skiing guided tour which was our favorite part of the trip. I definitely recommend an excursion otherwise you'll be board out of your mind for hours on the beach.

Well what cruise did YOU go on. Unfortunately there was a devastating hurricane when we had to embark. The staff was fun and enjoyable especially dealing with disappointing passengers due to a longer day at sea. Bottomless drinks and a variety food. You could dine in style or buffet. We played games had dance parties....movies so much. So if u didnt enjoy you must have stayed in the hot tub. Now for the island....WE HAD A BLAST. We shopped a lil we went to paradise beach and took a tournof atlantis. We drank went on a water taxi and tour Plllussss we went to Frankie go Bananas and the food was fab. Met a taxi driver who was sooo nice. He waited for us and had lunch with us. We wished we did have more time but hey you get what you pay for a 3 DAY CRUISE. Sooo i dont know what ship you was on, bc we had a blast. Plus to top it off we got 50 percent off on next cruise even AFTER we went to Nassau. Smh

Well you must be a miserable person all and all. We went 3 weeks ago and had a great time. Loved boat and staff. Check yourself before putting others down. Sounds like you are impossible to please ! Always one who has to complain. People don't listen. Great time.
