Review summary

Thoroughly enjoyed our first Transatlantic crossing...now we can 'legally' get anchor tatoos! The 15 night cruise was not too long. We enjoyed our 'at sea' days perhaps more than our 'in port' days. We look forward to our next cruise on Norwegian! Samantha Strassberg did a fine job tailoring our travel and cruise arrangements to match our friend's arrangements, with whom we were travelling.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Under Kevin's guidance, the food and beverage teams were outstanding! From the experiences in Versailles, to our breakfasts in Market Place, and the specialty restaurants Cagney's, Teppanyaki, Ginza Sushi, Moderno and Le Bistro...all memorable dining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Evening shows were spectatcular, along with trivia, archaeology lectures, book-writing workshop, ship choir, painting class and bingo. We also took advantage of Thermal Spa packages and did not disappoint...a fine environment for a workout, steam, sauna, jacuzzi and relaxation lounges.

A perfect size for the time we were in the cabin. Enjoyed the upgrade to a porthole room. Mr. Wei Linn took very good care of our room!
