First time on Norwegian, and exceeded my expectations. The Spirit was refurbished in 2020 but it was more than just carpet. Everything appeared new

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is older but the refurbishment two years ago was outstanding the ship looks new. It is a smaller size with just 2000 passengers, but on this sailing the cruise was just 1100 passengers. It has the spinnakers lounge witch is like Holland America’s crows nest, enjoyable on sea days. Small cabins but large showers. Common areas were clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

Small inside cabin, but meet our needs. Large shower
