Review summary

This was a nice relaxing cruise.  Most of the time is at sea.  Only two hours in Colon, Panama.  Unless you take excursions offered by the cruise line, the two hours in Colon is all the time you will get in Panama out of eleven days.  The ship was nice except that there were a lot of problems with toilets, including ours.  The Pinnacle dining experience was not worth the money.  We were disappointed with Aruba but maybe our expectations were too high.  If you want time to relax, take this cruise; if you want to see Panama, find another way.

Thanks for your review. I'm puzzled that you indicate there was a charge for Legally Blonde. Norwegian promotes this as included entertainment. How much was the fee and how/when were you asked to pay it?
