It has been 25 years since we cruised on Norwegian, but this was a special cruise for our 40th wedding anniversary. (We are platinum members on Carnival.) Ship was very elegant, but layout was difficult to grasp. Food was different but good; prime rib was only a thin cut piece. Balcony Cabin could have been laid out differently to provide extra space. A large desk area would have been helpful. Entertainment was amazing. Music groups on the ship were excellent. Our favorite was Taylor, the pianist in Magnum, along with Cryptic Blue. Service was not great; staff did not seem upbeat or happy. We chose this cruise for the ports, Azores and London. Excursions were good. Not a fan of anytime dining, but with four complimentary dining rooms, it worked out fine. We always went to the main dining room, to the same waiter Roldan Conita, who made us feel special. His assistant, Vanessa Junkee was wonderful, too, as was the restaurant hostess, Aiza Panqahin. Buffet was very good with a great selection. There was an older crowd on this ship, different than we are used to on Carnival. Unfortunate tender collision on tender return trip in Falmouth, England and 22' waves put a little damper on the trip.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Cabin was clean, thanks to JB, our room steward. Bed should be moved to allow for larger desk area. Maybe add a small table in front of the sofa/pullout. Bathroom was large. Coffee pot was a nice touch. Maybe make room in fridge for our drinks, as everything in fridge was an extra charge.

Cobh (Cork)

Quaint little town.

Ponta Delgada

Loved the Azores! Not enough time to shop, so that was disappointing.
