I usually always sailed Carnival or Royal Caribbean but now I am hooked on Norwegian, from the time I embarked until I disembarked Norwegian surpassed all of my expectations and had me begging for more. I love freestyle dining, this is the way to go when it comes to vacation, being able to enjoy my vacation experience on my time was such a refreshing experience. Not only could you go to dinner at any time but there was such a multitude of dining options that if I didn't like the menu at one dining room I could go to a different one, kudos Norwegian.

I had an interior cabin which was small especially with 3 people but I've been on so many cruises that it doesn't bother me anymore, the shower was bigger than what I am accustomed to on a ship which was really nice, but the toilet was in an odd spot so you had to sit on it sideways because the front was so close to the wall. The ship is showing her age but that is expected on a ship that is 8 years old plus with her upcoming dry dock I am sure she will sparkle in no time. I liked her size too, she was big enough that I could get away from the crowds but at the same time she was small enough that I didn't feel overwhelmed. The crew were all extremely friendly and helpful and our cabin steward was a delight, we talked to her every chance we got.

Overall I will definitely be cruising Norwegian again very soon!
