Another restaurant, great food.

This was my first cruise experience and it turned out to be a great one. The staff, food, drinks, and activities on-board were really good. There is always something to do daily. Also if you didn't want to do anything there where quiet areas on the ship you could enjoy. The Ship is pretty big even though it's not of their bigger lines. There is a theater inside, and has 13 floors. The main areas of activity where on Deck, 6,7,8,12 and 13. For eating i loved not getting dressed up for dinner and really enjoying the free style experience. I was a bit disappointed in the time for excursions. You really need to plan out what you're going to do ahead of time. We did Kennedy Space Center and Atlantis. Time off the ship was only about 4 to 5 hours tops. You really need more time at Atlantis to really enjoy it. I wouldn't recommend doing that excursion if you never been there before. Lucky that we squeezed in 3 water rides and a quick bite to eat before we had to get back on board. As for Kennedy Space Center maybe an extra hour or two of exploring would have completed the whole area, without walking fast and missing a few things. Great Stirrup Cay was a nice and quiet day at the beach to just relax. Norwegian did a great job overall with the handling of large crowds both getting on and off the ship. The check in and check out process when so smooth, compared to the airport. I would highly recommend this cruise and booking with Norwegian.

Balcony

The Cabin was nice but the bathroom was a bit small. If you're a bigger person then you'll be in for some problems. Having the balcony was very nice, we also had a king size bed.
