Having sailed 21 times on Carnival and only once on Norwegian has made me a believer in Norwegian. Hands down a winner over CCL. From top to bottom NCL is my sailing choice.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Extremely easy once past the expected lines
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Le Bistro's service was slow and the food bland. Main dining rooms were excellent as were the buffets.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
At my age I observe and what I saw was people having fun and enjoying themselves.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
DJ's were excellent. Singers were very talented but it sounded as though it was constant shouting rather than singers. Perhaps selecting songs that showcase their voices is the answer.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Fine group of workers. Ships steward Richard Rimondo did a great job, dining room waiter Rhyan Moldez super and Ivan Lukic, assistant maitre'd was a man on a mission to insure great service and food.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Casual dining areas were excellent especially the "Cafe" at the front of the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Always cleaned, bed made and bathroom well maintained
Great stop. Allowed us to see how a communist country is run. Lots of great sites and architecture but the city is many years from being called "a must see."
