My partner and I started cruising on Norwegian about 5 years ago. Last summer we decided it was time to try another cruise line. Overall the cruise was okay, but it just wasn't Norwegian. They didn't seem as organized. We always felt like we were in a line or corralled somewhere waiting. The food was just okay. The shows were not creative. Nothing seemed to go smoothly.
But with the Norwegian Spirit it was like coming back home. Everyone on the staff smiled, everything was well thought out and planned, the food was great...even the buffet was good, fresh and lots to choose from, and the shows were very entertaining. Night life had good options... there was live piano music, live rock music, dancing, etc. I ordered a Mai Tai and it was a real Mai Tai! We did something different every night. All of our excursions were very good and the tour guides were knowledgeable and took good care of us.
Specific things to know about this cruise.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Balcony
Cabin BA
Cabin was nice, but dated. It was small, but the use of space was good.
Port Reviews
Barcelona
We arrived a day early and stayed 3 days after the cruise. Fantastic city with a very good subway system. We also used the Hop Off Hop Off to get the lay of the land. Went to the Picasso Museum, Sagrada Familia, walked around the Gothic Quarter. Had a great seafood Paella at La Fonda Del Port Olimpic. Excellent service and food!!
Casablanca
This port is a little adventurous. City is dirty and unkept. The street vendors are a little pushy. But, the tours of the Hassan II Mosque, Chellah and the Mohammed V Mosoleum were very nice. We had to watch the tour guide because walked fast and didn't hold up his sign. I would definitely recommend the tour because of the unique cultural experience.
Lanzarote
This is a must see. Absolutely incredible!

Beautiful Cactus Garden!
Madeira (Funchal)
Use this cable car to go up to where the Toboggan Rides are. It's quite a view.
Madeira (Funchal)
Nice drive through the mountains and an amazing view down to the valley at the Nuns Village.
Malaga
Alhambra Palace and Gardens was a very good lesson in history. Beautiful architecture.
Alicante
Charming La Vila Joiosa and Altea, nice day touring these charming little villages. Each with its own style and charm.
