This was my 4th Cruise and first on Norwegian. Embarkation went smoothly -from time of arrival to boarding ship was approximately 45 minutes. Ship lovely and cabin wonderful. First time with balcony and would never go back to inside cabin. Staff and crew very friendly and helpful. Too many passengers with kids to accommodate the pool area and seating. You had to reserve a chair by 9:30am or they were taken. Same for shows, Theatre did not have enough seats for all passengers so you needed to get there 15 minutes before performances. Matt, the Cruise Director, was wonderful.
Small Portions in main dining room. Overall food good, but not as good as years ago. No mid-night buffet on this cruise line. Loved the private Island, but again, you had to get there early to get a seat in the shade or near the beach.
Was not happy with shore excursions: Dolphin Encounter in Nassau and Taxi drive around Bermuda and Beach - I felt were not worth the money. Would take ferry to Hamilton, shop and eat, and then hire driver to go to beach. Thought we were swimming with the Dolphins, but that had to be booked way in advance and was more money.
