Good price and for the free alcohol throughout entire cruise, felt it was great overall bargain. Getting on the boat was a breeze. Faster than most. They have definitely streamlined the process. Once onboard, room was nice size (porthole cabin) and amenities were abundant. However, my bed kept sliding apart from the queen combo they prepared. This made sleeping a bit of a challenge. Entertainment throughout the cruise was wither very high or very low. Couldn't seem to stay consistent and left gaps where I felt like I had nothing of real interest. FOOD WAS BLAND!!! By far, the worst part of the rip. Nothing had any flavor although there were plenty of selections. Drinks were watered down which was disappointing since the selling point was the alcohol inclusive tag. The open schedule for dinner is okay, but I think I like the traditional format to get to know my waiter over the days I am onboard. I'd go again, but didn't see anything really great about this trip versus the others I have been on to make me only choose Norwegian.
The room was spacious with plenty of amenities. The bed was comfortable but the two mattresses kept sliding apart from the queen combination and made sleeping difficult. My steward was amazing and always available when I needed her. She provided everything we needed and anticipated a lot of our needs ahead of time.
It was an easy exit out with very little wait. Had to wait a bit longer than expected for luggage, but it did eventually arrive.
Straw market has not changed in years. Its just a frenzy of sellers and their goods. Seen once, save yourself the trip.
