Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining rooms had slow service and they seemed understaffed. Food was ok. Buffet often was better. Pasta salads surprisingly good. Would have been nice to have pretzels or snacks at bars.

Onboard Activities

Cabin / Stateroom

It was sufficient. Older ship. Needs more outlets. Fitted sheets would be good-they we’re ripped and kept sliding off the bed.

Ship tip

Enjoy at least one of the better restaurants.

HAVANA, CUBA

3 out of 5
Havana was very interesting, but our tour was cut short. It took two hours to get off the ship, which was hard for our daughter with special needs and it affected the tour. We had such a short time there that the Norwegian tour was outrageously priced for what it was. I would book privately next time and get off the ship early. It was a fiasco. If you’re going to visit Cuba, don’t do the one day, do a cruise more geared toward all of Cuba.

Slow and we were given no one to contact for our daughter’s needs after getting on the ship.
