Review summary
We recentrly sailed on the Norwegian Spirit visiting the several Central American ports. The ports of call were wonderful but the ship was not. We had an outside cabin and it was not made clear to us that it would have a porthole instead of a window. This was a disappointment. The cabin was very small. Even with only 2 of us it was crowded. It was annoying to us that there was such a strong push on alcoholic beverages, even at breakfast time. Not a very suitable environmant for children. The food in the 2 main restaurants that were included in the price of the cruise without an extra fee was OK but nothing to "brag" about. The portions were tiny. The service was OK but not as good as in my previous cruises. Since $10 per person per day was added to your final bill there is no insentive for the crew members to go the "extra mile" and provide exceptional service. The shows in the evening were not very good or entertaining either. This was our 5th cruise, the previous 4 on Carnival which were great and I will not sail Norwegian againShip experiences
