Review summary

This was a wonderful first cruise for us. We were celebrating my 50th bday and it was fantastic! Specialty restaurants were very kind in their birthday desserts for me. :0) This ship was large enough for us and not very crowded it seemed. We plan on cruising more and will bring our kids next time although it will be a different itinerary. Thank you Norwegian for a fabulous first time! ;0)

Lines moved quickly. We heard about waiting for 2+ hours and brought reading material. I went to the ladies room only to have my husband shout : Hurry Up !! Lines moving fast !!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Buffet area brightly lit and clean. So much variety to choose from. Dining rooms were very nice and for the most part easy to find. Study your ship map people! Specialy restaurants had perfect ambiance with lighting, spacing between tables, etc.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room stewards service was prompt and tidy - she was very friendly and learned from day 2 we like to sleep in a little LOL! Ship personnel very professional and friendly that we came in contact with. All waiters were fantastic! We only were disappointed in the waiting time at the Brazilian steakhouse....too long to get seated, too long to get water, too long for them to come by table with different meats, etc. And the place was not busy......

Ship Quality

Hard to keep pool bathrooms clean. I get it. But it's not cool to run out of toilet paper.

Gorgeous simply gorgeous! We did a GOT tour here. Was fun to visit during the after World Cup. They were still celebrating homecoming of their soccer team.

Kotor, Montenegro

4 out of 5
If your thing is shopping in little shops or a long climb of steep steps up to a fort this is for you! Otherwise, not much to do but enjoy scenery at the pier and climb around the wall. An excursion would be good here if there is enough time.

Corfu, Greece

5 out of 5
My favorite port! We did a private car tour and really saw the island! Love love love

Split, Croatia

5 out of 5
This port arrival was terrible. You are walking into a sea of people with luggage trying to catch buses, taxis etc. Wish someone would have told us to steer extreme right to all the greek ruins. We were so hot and hate crowds we went back to the ship.
