It's TRUE. There was nothing to do unless you were drinking and clubbing on this ship. I slept. I couldn't drink when I went on this ship for last Halloween. So I'd take my son to splash academy and go back to my room and sleep when we weren't at port. The ship is too small and there basically isn't any of the entertainment I'm used to seeing on other norweigan ships. No outdoor movies, no atrium with movies. No rock climbing wall, no mini golf or trampoline thing. But for $98 a person I suppose it was bound to be bad.

Wow Norwegian is usually known for having older people. Carnival is the party ship.
