Review summary

We booked for the first time with Norwegian mainly based on the itinerary and other good reviews read about the company. Really liked most the ports. The ship is old but it is nicely renovated on the inside. Really liked the 2 restaurants serving dinner but didn't understood why all restaurants were closing at 21:30 since is quite early. After 21:30 you can eat at the bar some burgers, nachos, etc. Loved the fact that you can opt to share the table with other people and we've met quite interesting ones. It wasn't that entertaining mainly because most of the people on board were quite old. The food was good and there is a nice variety of drinks you can enjoy. All in all it was a nice experience.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not much to do....it was too cold to use the pool.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The staff and performers were quite good but I guess since the audience was quite old and back on board time was after 20:00 in a lot of the locations it wasn't a lot of request for entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All personal was well behaved, respectful and attentive.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Weird design........no main deck to enjoy, a bit crowded but indeed the ship is quite small.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Big room with a lot of storage, big bathroom well ventilated. Big and conformable bed. I didn't liked the fact the room had 2 air vents beside the one in the bathroom and it was really really noisy. They managed to turn off one of it.
