Review summary
My first time to Europe, we did a land tour first in Spain, then this cruise, then a land tour in Italy. My favorite part of cruising is the convinience of unpacking the first night, and sleeping in the same bed for the duration. The ship is very nice, never seemed crowded, and guest services was always helpful. We were given 5 specially restaurants as part of the trip and my favorite was Cagney's. The food is the most delicious, we went there 3 of the 5. And I was very surprised by the ships singers and dancers. They are super talented and Broadwaylike. All their performances were fantastic and enthusiastic. The cruise director was informative, brief, and to the point, and very approachable. At a few ports, Ther city was far and we had to take a shuttle bus from the port to the city at a $15 round trip fee, added to your state room. This was never communicated during booking time. And you, and even crew members working on the ship, have to pay for wifi. At the rates cruisers pay, I believe the shuttle buses and wifi should be included for all. With all the gain made in beverages services and the casino, Norwegean and all other lines, will never have anything close to a loss. I believe wifi and all basic transportation should be included in the cruise fee. I would have preferred that over the 5 complimentary dinners. The food in the dining rooms and buffet was very good. The only issue I have with the food at both restaurants and buffet, is the temperature, sometimes, it's cool or even cold. Overall, great ship, staff, and cruise. The ports, and the European cities, speak fir themselves, Europe is amazing and marvalous.
