I won't be doing Bahamas again. The rest of the Carribean is much better. The food and service is lacking. They don't give that extra something and you feel like it's all a commercial and pressure to buy buy buy. Norwegian was a disappointment. I was expecting so much better and was really looking forward to cruising with them.

Food and Dining
1 out of 5
I like to try new things. I've been on three other cruise lines and this one had nothing spectacular for food. In fact, we had a hard time finding complimentary food we liked during the cruise. The salad bar is small and didn't have the normal toppings you'd expect like shredded cheese at times. Don't expect any good seafood. Desserts were flan and different flavored cheese cakes mostly. The traditional menu doesn't really change but one or two items nightly. There were a couple good items there but that was it. Our cruise did have free booze.
Onboard Activities

Smaller ship so not much to do but watch the water.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
This cruise centered most on selling stuff. We did enjoy a couple shows featuring guests. The entertainment was a little cheesy.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Our room Stewart was the best. Service was mostly rude but fast everywhere else. This may be a cultural thing though. I felt at times staff were out right mean and I'm not expecting princess treatment.
Ship Quality

Everything was always clean.

Ship tip
Go when they give all the deals like alcohol/sodas included, and picture package, room credit, internet minutes and gift card to Amazon. Do not take anything less than balcony.
This area sucks. We rented a car for $75 and was able to do way more than what they offer in excursion packages. We went to three beaches, gardens (nothing cool here either) and ziplined (which sucked). Stick with beach time.
Owned by the cruise line so you can use a room card. Nice beach not a lot of sea life or shells to view. We did a snorkel and sandbar here that was nice. Most people that upgraded to the full mask snorkel wasted their money and went to normal snorkel due to difficulty. Staff were funny. Just a beach activity day.
We did a cab ride tour for $60. The guy was very informative and we paid at the end. Go to the local food area and get your conch. Best food of the trip. Everywhere else was over rated.
I think what you find on 3 day cruises is that they are geared for a booze festival and the food they serve is secondary. If you take 7 to 10 days you would have a different experience.
