This was my wife and my first cruise and we are both 66 years old. Booked through a travel agent with a balcony stateroom. We have nothing to compare with so not sure how this compares with other cruises. The cruise was great! The ship was great! the staff was great! For a first cruise we were overall very happy.

The things I didn't like are the following: We booked early and got 1 free upgrade and we took the dining package. By the time we left for the trip Norwegian was offering 5 free upgrades but would not let us have any so we were left with a nasty taste in the mouth before we left.

On board we were immediately given sales pitches to spend lots more money, spas, photos, gym, watches, jewels. We felt like we were stuck on a ship with sales people. We couldn't get a soda without spending 4 dollars and internet access was outrageous. Overall we thought the trip was great but just a few thing could have been better. Why not have soda as part of the meals without an extra charge. Why not have reasonable prices on photos, internet and spa treatments. I would like to have seen no cost exercise classes.
