We chose this cruise in order to see as many islands as possible. The ports were too far to comfortably walk to and were only shopping centers we could visit back home. The ship itself was ok but nothing special. We booked a cabin with a "large" balcony, cabin very tight. Food was only ok. Dining in the Skyline Restaurant was extremely slow causing us to miss shows. The one show we did catch was absolutely awful (The Tenors of Rock). Whoever hired them should be dismissed, we could only stomach 10 minutes of their show. There is no gambling on this ship so if you like the casinos you'd better skip (this includes BINGO, they can only give out cheesy tshirts and coffee mugs-no cash). Norwegian does not allow you to bring any water or soda onboard, be prepared to pay astronomical prices. Our main complaint was the pre-cruise tour we booked. Not everything promised was delivered, our bus driver said the catamaran ride was discontinued 2 years ago but it's still listed on the website. And our luggage was damaged by Norwegian transferring it from the hotel to the ship(suitcase made it from VA to LosAngeles and across the Pacific but they couldn't get it 4 miles to the ship!!) . We filed a complaint but have heard nothing back from them. The shore excursions were pretty pricey and most were all day long.

Cabin Review

Large Balcony

Average, pretty tight quarters. Larger balcony was nice but cruising was at night so we really couldn't enjoy sitting there watching the waves and water
