Review summary

Fantastic Cruise overall will you see me do some complaining the smell on the boat was a little annoying but open bars just wonderful and it would just happen to have very beautiful weather we love Great Stirrup Cay Island and the and the snorkeling off of NASA was marvelous as usual the price for this cruise for us was about 199 a person which is very reasonable so I will take the screws again at this price especially

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
overall a little average we were a little disappointed for the first time on the cruise and I am a frequent Cruiser that during any of the dining Lobster or prime rib was not offered perhaps it was offered if you upgraded to the paid restaurants but the food was overall tasty and we love freestyle dining where we don't have to eat at a specific time one of my favorite things about Norwegian

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
very funny comedian we loved the fact that the Pools and Spas were usually open and they were very nice the piano bar player was also very good The Duo or duet that played left a lot to be desired

Entertainment

5 out of 5
simply wonderful

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
very friendly and a tentative however are in room safe did not work when we reported it they sent a technician he was unable to repair the safe and said they would replace it that never happened

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
not too bad but there was a terrible smell near the main performance area and in a couple other spots on the boat I don't know if it's garbage or bathroom issues but you had to hold your breath when you walk by that area

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
the room was very nice and comfortable the bed was also very comfortable the problem with the safe mentioned in another area of this review and the remote for the TV was a little fussy but overall very nice

Ship tip

I know I may have complained a little bit but I would take the screws again without any reservation especially at that price the open bar was wonderful and this is my vice with any Cruise Line it is always better to book your excursions off the boat because it's half price

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Miami is Miami never too fond of this city the boat has to sail from somewhere

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Very nice enjoyable stay at this nice beach resort island I love the fact that the open bar included the activities at Stirrup Cay as well had a wonderful time at this Beach water was crystal clear and would love to visit this island again

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
I'm actually not a very big fan of Nassau never have been the wave Cruise there several times and we'll probably Cruise there again because the cruise lines always seem to go there, but what I do like about NASA is a wonderful place to go snorkeling off the island and that is the draw to Nassau Bahamas for me visited the island several times not too much to do or see though the Atlantis Hotel is worth checking out but once you've done that there's no need to go again

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
been to Freeport several times not too much to do on this island Bill to beaches can be nice but they're a long way from the dock the market is okay but also very good place to do some snorkeling from

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
very smooth and efficient check out a little weight at Customs but we always bring just a couple of carry-ons so we never have to wait for our luggage Norwegian does have a term for that I just can't recall what it is but that's a good tip for anybody taking the cruise if you can go with just carry-ons you can get off the boat a lot more efficiently but admittedly we were known rushed very efficient shuttles back to the airport however I would recommend not booking those with Norwegian going to one of the other vendors and you can save a lot of money Norwegian charges $36 a person the other vendors $10 a person
