Traveled with children

This was our first time on Norwegian, having sailed only on Carnival. There was no problem with embarking, and we were able to go right to our room only to discover that there were not enough beds. There was only one upper and two lower for four people. I went down to the desk and was told that there was a trundle bed. So I went back up and looked. No trundle. Back down I go. They said they would bring in a rollaway everynight. Nothing to do but make the best of it at that point. The rollaway consisted of a four inch foam mattress. Our kids are young men 14 and 16 years old so the second night we had them add another mattress on top.

The cabin steward told me the rooms were originally designed with a trundle bed but that those beds had been replaced. So every morning and night we had to find him and have him take care of the extra bed. Quite a nuisance. I talked to my travel agency about this and they were shocked because Norwegian was still booking this for four people.

When I went to get ready for dinner that night I was shocked at the shower. Mold was in all the crevices. Big black mold. On the way down to dinner that night (without showering) I started chatting with a crew member only to discover he was chief of housekeeping. BINGO When I told him about the mold you would have thought I said the ship was sinking. He assured me they would take care of it. Which they did the next day.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Inside

Cabin IB

it was in a good location-midship close enough to elevators for conveniance but far enough away for quiet. Not big enough for four people two could be comfortable but three would be tight. Shower and closet at the same size as outside cabins
