This is quite possibly the most disappointing cruise I've been on in my life. I booked the trip due to a very low price and quite a few extras tossed in. On the whole, though, I will probably not cruise with Norwegian again.

The stateroom seemed small, even by inside cabin standards. There was no mini sofa, just built-in tables and desks. The shower, conversely, was quite large. I suspect it stole some real estate from the rest of the room. Storage space was fine for my needs, though as my stateroom (10159) is designed for four, I have no idea how that many people could store their stuff in it. The TV remote only would power on and do volume control. Input source was disabled, so I was unable to use the screen as a monitor for my laptop (a good stateroom TV accepts an alternative HDMI source; I prefer to watch movies on the TV with the remote for volume control). The feed appeared to be standard definition. There was no interactive features, meaning I could not check my stateroom charges except by going to the front desk.

On the plus side, the room heating controls was one of the best I've had on a ship. I prefer a much warmer climate than most people, and usually even full heat is too cool for me. In this room, I had to dial it back a few notches from high to be comfortable. The stateroom attendant was fine, except for inexplicably not making up my stateroom until after 3:00 p.m. on the first full day, despite my being out for breakfast at 7:00 a.m. and being out on the ship all morning.
