I would not describe myself as a typical cruiser. I was there for the sun, heat, a chance to exercise (deck walking, stair climbing), read a few books, and see new places. If I were there for the food, entertainment, or customer service I would have been very disappointed. Also if I’d paid full price I’d probably be upset! I got what I wanted out of the cruise and enjoyed the flexibility of freestyle. This was my first solo cruise and I was not impressed with how I was treated by the crew. They know I actually paid for two (single supplement) right?
I would not recommend Norwegian Cruise Lines except for great last minute deals.
Embarkation

Smoother than I anticipated.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
The quality of the food was often worse than Old Country Buffet.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Used the fitness center and walking tracks.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The shows were amestureish. I rarely stayed for the whole show but I did attend most evenings.
Service and Staff
1 out of 5
Customers don’t come first on this ship. Customers are expected to yield to crew members when walking about. Customers are often ignored. As an example: I was only asked twice in 14 days if I’d like a drink by a cocktail waiter. The vibe permeates the ship with the exception of the room stewards. They’re great!
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship was clean. The decorating is a bit gaudy for my taste.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was perfect for one person.
Ship tip
They told us most people gain 6 pounds on a cruise. Not if you only take the stairs!!
