Review summary

You can’t go wrong with Norwegian. Any issues i had with the food was more than made up by with the level of service they provide. Honestly I might only cruise with them going forward

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I would have have to say the food is the only thing that I didn’t really enjoy. It is basic buffet food which I would enjoy but they try to make it fancy and it just doesn’t work all the time. The best restaurant would have to be 4 seasons. They are only open for dinner. The drink package is a must. The drinks that are mixed on the menu are a little watered down but if you order your own drink, you will be a happy camper. If you plan on drinking, really invest in the the drink package because each drink is about $11 to $12 and it will rack up quickly on a 5 day cruise.

The size and layout was great. If you have a family this is the room to pick. My only issue was that the bathroom is starting to show it’s age and our room was really dusty.

Ship tip

Drink package, eat dinner at four seasons,

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

Getting if the boat isn’t fun because it is a little hard because of how much the boat Moves when you are getting on and off. The beach is really rocky and it takes away from the experience. Bring some sort of beach shoes but even then it’s still a little difficult to walk into the water. Rent a beach float for $16.
