Review summary

Overall it was a good cruise. Anytime the sun is out it's a good day. If you are looking for more than that I'd cruise a different ship. Not a lot going on on this ship. I would not let Norwegian book your flights! NY to Fl took 7-8 hours with layovers! A direct flight would have been great.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

This took a long time because they were checking everyone's temp and triple checking passports which is good but we had to stand in the sun for 2 hours. They should consider putting a temp. awning out there.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

There was one restuarant I though the food was excellent. It was the Italian restaurant. All other food was ok.

Onboard Activities

Pool was nice but it was closed down due to high winds.

Hello thanks for the review this is our 1st cruise not sure if we will be making the sail as a lot of places are closing including Disney which never closes due to Covid19 . We have booked a balcony cabin on deck 10 room 13 and was wondering if your cabin was on the same deck or if you took pics of the room. My son his wife and my 2 teenager grandkids are also going and we were wondering if there was going to be enough activities for them and from your review I'm disappointed already because this means we are going to have to entertain them somehow grrr....I appreciate your review and hope you have a better experience if you cruise again.
