Review summary

Overall, yes I would cruise w/ them again. It was a great experience and my first Norwegian cruise. The on boarding and disembarking processes were the best I’ve seen thus far. The music entertainment was amazing throughout. Room was clean and and plenty of storage, demographic was all over the board. If you wanted to party you could but if you also wanted to relax you could do that too.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Speciality dining is where it’s at. Amazing food and great service. The buffets got a bit old. Even though the food would change over it was much of the same stuff. Ended up not going to the main dining room for dinner but did go for breakfast. Tasted and seemed like the same food as the buffets but had to wait 20 minutes for them to “make it” I could have gone to the buffet and back quicker. That was a bit disappointing.

Sushi Bar

5 out of 5

Limited menus but makes sense we’re on a cruise ship. Sushi was tasteful and sushi chef was very friendly.

Windjammer Bar

Loved the atmosphere and music. Great place to relax and enjoy a cocktail.

Teppanyaki

5 out of 5

Food and entertainment was great! So good we went there twice and had Aiko as our chef. He was amazing!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool was nice, plenty of seating around the ship to get sun. As expected the pool seats went fast but already a was able to find a chair to lay out in. The fitness room was pretty simple and lacked a variety of machines. Mostly a cardio gym.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Windjammers entertainment was my favorite. Great music and amazing piano players.

Children's Programs

No kids
