Review summary

Overall, very disappointed in this ship and overall vacation. I have always been true to Norwegian but going forward that might change.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Weather was horrible which set a delay to leaving.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

We didn't eat at any of the main dining rooms as it was all the same as the buffet. Buffets were ok. Breakfast was always the best. Lunch and dinner was good but alot of the same food each day not alot of options. No late night for or snack after 8:30pm. Very disappointed in that as people are up and moving all hours of day and night.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Little to no onboard activities for adults or teens. No activities at poolside.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Comedian was horrible. The 2 magic shows he was AMAZING!!!! The Rock N' Roll show that I we was so excited to see didn't happen.

Children's Programs

no young children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

all around great service from everyone

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Ship was neat and clean but not alot of eye-catching design or anything that really wowed us.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Room stated it can sleep 4. We had 3 and was tripping on each other. Bed for the 3rd person was horrible, solid as a board.

Ship tip

If you are into self-entertainment and lots of drinking this is your boat!!!

I kinda don't get the line "we ate in the buffet because it was the same food as the MDR". That's my comparing a cafeteria with a fine restaurant. You're getting special table service in the MDR and interacting directly with waitstaff, not just slopping a bunch of food on your own plate

Seems to me someone didn't bother to read the daily planner. Everything that's happening and times are on that and if you had taken the time to read it, you would realize there is a place to eat at all hours. As far as the port being missed due to weather, I suppose you would be okay with sitting on the beach in the bad weather instead of being on the ship. I guess some people aren't happy unless they are constantly complaining about something and then blame the cruise line for ruining their cruise.
