Review summary

The cruise was alright overall, but for this kind of money, alright isn't good enough. Norwegian seems to get worse with each cruise. Time to try another line.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

This one's tricky--the lower level staff were, for the most part, friendly and hard-working. But some middle managers are quite rude. When one couple told the restaurant manager that they were constantly being jostled when the staff walked by with huge trays of food he told them to go to another restaurant because it's bigger.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Maintenance doesn't seem to be much of a concern.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Tiny room, tiny bathroom, tiny balcony, with the delightful sounds of chairs and tables being dragged overhead every morning between 3:00 and 5:00 as the crew cleaned the deck.
