Service was great, food was bland and choices were limited (unless you pay extra for the "good restaurants"). For me, it is more about the ports and this cruise had great ports. Asian restaurant was fair. Ive been on another Norwegian cruise and the Asian restaurant there was outstanding. Rock climbing wall was closed almost every day and they didn't seem to care. Cruise Director was fair, not funny and seemed like he was going through the motions. If you are going for the ship, I would choose another, but if you are going for ports, this is great. Entertainment was pretty good, but I have definitely had better. Room was great and spacious. Our room attendant was outstanding and service there was great. Overall service for dinner and breakfast was great and these people worked their butts off. I had my kids with me (12, 10) and they loved it, but didn't know any better. They would have liked mini golf and other activities, but they didn't have any of that and the water slide is a joke.
