Review summary

The vacation was spectacular. No regrets, I was a little disappointed with our steward but no big deal. The Buffett could be better. After cruising with Norwegian, I can say that food wise, Norwegian comes on top. The shows were Awesome. Favorites were 1977 and HIRO.

Jarquin and Pramod, waiters are main dining room was excellent. The room steward was OK. We were not very happy with him. My son was looking forward for the towel animals. From a 7 night, we only got 3 towel animals.

Honestly, we didn't like it. The beach, full of rocks, and they limit the access to it so you couldn't even swim. The water slide was full of people so after an hour and a half, we went back to the ship and enjoy the slides, the pool there.

The line to present the birth certificate was crazy long. An hour waiting, and only one TSA official for all those people
