We love Norwegian! We even got married on the Jewel on 10/10/09. We enjoy the casual ease of this line. No rush,no worry! We like having many sea days while leaving from NYC. Even the colder days are just a pleasure. The show are the best we have seen. Everything about Norwegian is a welcome joy. We have cruise other lines and do like some, but Norwegian has our hearts!! The cabin/mini-suite is great. Having coffee on the balcony in the morning to looking at the stars & water at night just brings a peaceful relaxation. The crew goes above and beyond to make your vacation great. The shows are the best at sea. Embarking & disembarking runs very smooth. The main dining rooms are just as good as the specialty ones. Food is fresh, hot & presented well. There is quiet spaces as well as active places. Our only complaint is we could not gamble because the smoke in the casino was wicked. They must find a better was to ventilate it. Other than that we will cruise Norwegian over & over again!
