Sail Date: Jan 2016
Cabin: Inside Stateroom

This was our second (and last) Norwegian cruise. There was very little entertainment. There was one musical in the theater (Legally Blonde), and tickets were required. There was a magic show (extra fee), a wine musical (extra fee), and limited comedy shows. Everything requires a reservation, and there are not enough reservations available to accommodate everyone. If you don't make a reservation weeks before the trip, you probably won't see anything.

Our food was mediocre at best. We had the meal plan, and definitely would not eat at any of the restaurants a second time. Service was slow. The buffet is a hot mess. Lines going in multiple directions - just mass chaos. It is totally self service.

The ship is crowded. Sea days meant wandering around trying to find someplace to sit. This ship has lots of bars and seems to be all about drinking. The whole week was a huge disappointment.

Port Reviews

Cozumel

Dolphin swim is fun. Combined with a vigorous climb of Dunns River Falls.

Cozumel

Stingray Swim: Be sure to be among the first off the boat. Bait is provided to lure the stingrays. There is not enough bait. If you are last off the boat, the bait is gone as are the stingrays.
