We just came back from our 7 day cruise with NCL, this being the first time sailing with Norwegian. We have sailed before on Carnival, Princess and Celebrity before.
Embarkation was very smooth. There were 5 of us in our party and we boarded quickly.
buffet was very good, with a variety enough to please us all. The specialty restaurants were all very good and worth the money. I expected the Japanese restaurant to be more like Genji's in Ohio, but it was authentic Japanese which was very different.
The cabin was much bigger than I expected. We had a queen bed and a couch. The bathroom was larger than any other ship we had sailed on before. There was more space than we could use. Our steward "Dennis" was wonderful and kept my ice bucket filled.
