Review summary
My husand and I took this cruise because we were on a budget and also new to cruising. Getting on and off the ship was a quick and easy process. Unfortunately, due to hurricane season our itinerary got changed and we did not get to see Freeport or Great Stirrup Cay. Instead, we went to Key West which was a ton of fun for us and Nassau. I was not impressed with Nassau. The moment you get off the ship people are beging to braid your hair, give you a ride, or sell something to you. Once you get out of the port area though the locals are friendly enough. The ship itself was small and a bit out of date, but there was always something to do! We checked out the arcade and it was alot of fun, but some of the games were broken. The comedian on board was really funny and we decided to watch him 2 nights in a row. The reggae band on the ship was AMAZING and we tried to see them everytime we had a chance. The room we had was just an oceanview and nothing fancy. I will say- the bathrooms are SMALL and they only give you a shampoo and body wash pump so bring your own personal care. There was no hairdryer in our room and I didn't anticipate that so make sure you bring your own hair dryer. Our room service left alot to be desired- even after leaving a $20 tip the second day we would come back much later in the day to find the room was not made up. Nothing we couldn't handle, but it would have been nice to come back to a clean room with fresh towels after being in the pool. The pool was very full with kids and the hot tubs were nearly impossible to find a spot. If you want to spedn time in either I suggest you look for a different ship. The food was really good in the cafe areas, but who's complaining when there's endless food at all hours. The french restaurant was amazing and had delicious food. The steak house was good as well! The drinks were also free and pretty strong for all inclusive. They changed up the bar menu everyday for featured drink of the day, but you could always get any drink. What we loved about this cruise? We could do whatever we want whenever we wanted. If you're looking for a quick getaway that won't break the bank, has decent food, good drinks then this cruise is for you! It wasn't the top of the line, but the entertainers certainly made sure we had a good time. I love the free at sea experience and would go with Norwegian again, just a bigger ship.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. And it's great that the skipper worked his backside off to offer alternate ports (it's not easy - or cheap).
