We loved our experience! The ship, and service, and food, and destinations were all great.

Be warned - Norwegian is completely aggressive in trying to empty your wallet before the cruise is over. We made a game out of resisting the constant selling and upselling of products. But if you do not pay attention, you will be faced with an enormous bill at the end of the cruise.

We knew before we got on that they wanted to charge dozens of dollars for water! In addition, I think it was $57 per person per day if you wanted the drink package. (Are people planning to be drunk for 7 days straight?) Over half of the restaurants were to be paid in addition to the cruise price, while less than half were "complimentary". Even in those, there were items that you would have to pay for if you ordered them.
