Great itinerary but tired, older ship. Went for the ports not the ship. Nice public area's. Food average, service was good but not great. See my cabin review below. Some highlights were: Marissa who performs in Henry's and Charlie's, great voice, don't miss her. The pesto in the Italian restaurant was amazing. Lester in Shanghai bar knew names and drinks, he was always smiling and a great bartender. The production company was very good, the quality you'd expect to see on a much larger ship. The international show had some really great Bollywood and Irish dancing. The rest of the entertainment - guest singers were average cruise level which we didn't stick around for. Cruise Director was good. Never had to wait for dinner which was nice.

As other reviews mentioned 1960's hairdryer so I brought my own. The only 2 US outlets in the whole cabin posted at the outlet no hairdryer or shaver only. I asked and was told the wiring couldn't handle a hair dryer so don't bother bringing one! Also on the topic of hair it is a shampoo conditioner combo so if you need real conditioner be sure to pack some.

If you have an early departure (4:30 AM for us) in Venice there are no random cabs waiting at 4:30 AM as the older gent with the glasses in guest services ASSURED us. We rushed off to find no open cabs. I figured he knew, very wrong. Luckily we were able to share a small van to the airport with other passengers. If not we would have missed our flight. Norwegian please train your people! You can disembark in Venice as early as 4:30 AM but you need to request this early in the cruise. Again wrong info on this from the same guy the first time we checked into it. Read more
