One word describes everything about the ship and the cruise - FANTASTIC. We sailed out of LA on a beautiful September evening with a glorious sunset to see us off. We have sailed NCL before on the Spirit and both ships were equally as good. Our cabin on Norway deck first behind the bridge was perfect for what we wanted.
Just one small complaint - the plastic balcony chairs could have been more comfortable - don't know how some of the large rear ends fit on them!
We enjoyed all the shore visits - even though it tipped it down with rain in Acapulco because of the proximity of Hurricane Stan. We avoided two hurricanes but there was no discomfort due to rough seas - only the large swimming pool caused a problem with the motion of the water - and had to be closed some days, but the other pool was always available.
