Review summary

Just returned from 7 day cruise to Eastern Caribbean - the Spirit was much better than expected. We booked two balcony cabins, 11630 and 11632. Our room steward, Ritchie, was fabulous! The cabins have a hairdryer in them and it desperately needs to be replaced/updated! There is only one outlet in the cabins so bring a power strip or extension cord. We ate at 7 different restaurants - all were great with one exception. Shogun Asian Restaurant was absolutely horrible. The others were very good! Had lunch one day at Blue Lagoon (fish & chips) and it was delicious. Overall, very good cruise!

Great location with fantastic room steward, Ritchie. The hairdryers need to be replaced!!! Only one outlet, so bring an extension cord or power strip. Ritchie did a fantastic job greeting us by name every time he saw us, kept our cabin clean and made very cute towel animals.

Ship tip

The ship is small and you will feel movement all over the ship. If this is an issue, take heed. All of the restaurants were wonderful with one exception, Shogun Asian Restaurant was horrible. There were plenty of lounge chairs if you just looked.

I was on the Spirit 2006, 2007 twice ( a back to back and a one night cruise to no where) and 2008 on a Repositioning cruise from New Orleans to New York City. I don't remember what cabins we were in, but we had the Philippines suite. A fantastic time all around. We went to the private island in 2006 and 2007. I love Blue Lagoon as you sit where you want and you walk through it and say hi to the crew. I always had a great time talking with them. The excursions We took back then were very nice ad always did it through Norwegian and even these days we book all of them through any cruise line. The hair dryers are dated because the ship is not new, but NCL should do it. People say to bring a strip not an extension. We never bring one. We have cruised with Norwegian 14 times. Back to Backs is one cruise. The main thing is having a good time. Happy cruising!!!
