Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

I don’t drink so the endless alcohol is not reflected in this review. I had to spend money two nights for dinner. There was no 24 hour food service (even if only pizza and burgers).

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

I found staff to not be welcoming (with the exception of our waitress at the steak restaurant.)

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Ship was very outdated! Only one outlet for charging cell and tablets; carpet in several areas on the ship was leaking; movie selection limited and should have been increased when the second day was canceled. WiFi costs were excessive but still prohibited streaming and watching movies.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Steward never made animal towels I’d kept hearing about, wasn’t thoroughly cleaned each day

Ship tip

I’d heard the food selection on Norwegian cruises was on another level. I was very disappointed that I had to spend money to get a satisfying dinner. Only cruise I’ve ever taken that didn’t have all you desire lobster (for free!)

Not such a good cruise

Very windy, they cancelled the private island because of weather conditions
