This was my husband and I first cruise and we were very pleased overall. Embarking and Disembarking was very smooth as we did both early.

We ate "all day" "everyday" and "every night". We were stayed with the main dining rooms Tsar (lobster first night) and Azura, also we liked Blue Lagoon for the mozzarella sticks and hot wings (Loved Them). Did not particularly like the Garden Cafe for buffet, so after the first try we stayed away from there (it's a buffet, so not much to expect there, less to be desired, enjoyed the Las Vegas' Buffets a lil' better). We splurged a little and ate at one of the up charge restaurants and it was well worth it... Teppanyki sp? was wonderful (Japanese) just be sure to get the lobster, shrimp and filet mignon (yum/yum).

Entertainment was pretty good especially Incanto and Cirque Bijou. The comedian was pretty good as well, not much to say about the magician though, as he showed a lot of things he could not do (ha ha very funny ~ think he wanted the comedian's job). My biggest complaint is they did not have a good variety of entertainment on the last sea day, so we just rested up as there were not a lot of things we were interested in doing without having to give Norwegian more of our hard earned money. Enough was spent on the cruise itself. Wish they had maybe a movie or two on the last sea day, since it was not the best weather to sit out pool side.
