Review summary

Norwegian Spirit: loved the size of the ship and the recent refurbishment made it feel like a new ship. Our window cabin 5590 was perfect for 2 people. This ship is the quietest one I’ve ever been on. You could hardly hear the engine or feel vibrations. I only went to a few of the production shows and they were of a very high standard. Food onboard was typical of cruise fare but we loved the Asian noodle soups in the Garden Cafe. One small negative was no port talks. Unlike most cruise companies, the photographers weren’t doing the hard sell which was wonderful. The Elements Production show can’t be missed - incredible. Best show ever at sea. Negative- they need to get rid of the disposal plastic glasses in the bars and use good quality reusable plastic ones

Wow!! Great review. Norwegian used to have souvenir cups and they did away with it and now they only use those plastic cups. What I did was I took a water bottle that wasn't big and I used it for my soda package and they just poured it from the soda fountain.
