This was my first cruise. Waited 30 years for my honey moon and couldn't have ask for a better experience. The ship was beautiful, staff was awesome. We got the beverage package, and glad we did, it was nice to pick up a cocktail and cruise the ship, or sit on the balcony and watch the waves. We did not eat at the cafeteria (they were very crowded). We had dinner at the restaurants, and food was great. It was like a romantic date every night. We enjoyed the magic show, (well worth the money), the wine luncheon musical was an enjoyment...good entertainment, and met new friends. (food here was not very good (worst on the cruise). Howling at the moon, and comedy club were great. (I only wish they had more adult only times for these). Kids are great, but don't need to be in bars. Somethings are meant to be for adults only!

We did a sight seeing excursion at St. Thomas, and one at Tortola, both were very good. At Nassau we took a taxi tour for a fraction of the money then the excursions we booked, and it was just as informative (probably more). Next trip I think I would not do excursions and do the taxi tour only (especially if we went with a group and filled a taxi .)

This was the vacation of a lifetime for me. I am not a world traveler, my vacations are usually based on family visits, so this was a once in a lifetime shot for me (54yr old female)...However! Now that I know how great it was, my husband and I put down a deposit for our next cruise with our 4 children and grandson. Can't wait! Thanks Norwegian for the honeymoon of a lifetime. I waited 30 years to get it, and it was worth the wait!

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Large Balcony

Cabin M6

just like any nice hotel. Bed was comfy, shower was great, loved the big balcony. We got to watch the islands as we sailed away. ENjoyed coffee and muffins in the morning while sitting at the table on the balcony, and in the afternoon laid out on the chase lounge to catch a quiet cat nap and a little sun. (with a little afternoon beverage.) Pool area was way overcrowded.

Port Reviews

Nassau

When we got off the boat and went to the open market there were lots of taxi drivers offering tours. We did take one. $20 each...toured the city, stopped at a beach (for a flash), took us to Atlantis to look around for 1/2 hour, then back to more shopping by the boat. This was the best money we spent on an excursion. didn't cost much, and it was very! informative!
