This was our first cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines. I chose NCL because my daughter cruised on this line for her Honeymoon. She raved about the ship and the experience. We have cruised often on another line, tried NCL and despite the engine issue at the end of the cruise we had a wonderful time. Loved the ship, crew, entertainment, free style dining everything. Spent alot of time at the pool. Food was outstanding in all restaurants. We bid on an upgrade and got a balcony cabin...it was terrific. Ports of call were all changed due to Mother Nature and the Hurricane season. Still the ports we visited were good. Great shore excursion on Barbados. Disembarkation was not as planned due to ship having issues. Had to leave a day early. The arrangements made to send us home were also top notch. They saw to all accommodations all the way.

We will cruise with Norwegian again, soon.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BB

great cabin, enough space for clothes. Loved the little balcony. Bathroom is a bit tight but functional. Cabin Attendant: Connie was wonderful and extremely accommodating and efficient.

Port Reviews

New York (Manhattan)

No comment...NYC is not my choice place to wonder around. Terrorist attack took place just prior to sailing time about 6 blocks from the ship.

St. Lucia

wandered around

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

great shopping

Grenada

great ride around the city to see sights like fort on top of the area, museum. and other points of interest noted.
