I have always been hesitant of taking a cruise, but I am so happy I finally did and I am glad I did so by traveling with the Norwegian family. Everyone on the boat seemed as if they were handpicked, from the people checking us in to the person taking care of our room to the bar tenders, waiters and captain, etc... super nice people always caring for us. The rooms were wonderful, comfortable beds and the food was fabulous from the buffet to the restaurants. So much to do on board, music and activities for all of all ages, my son loved the teen center, made friends that i feel will last a lifetime. Super elegant decor... The favorite part of my day was waking up and having my morning coffee on my balcony and looking out at the sea... breathtaking. I will definitely be back to spend time with our Norwegian family :) i do have one complaint which was the disembarkation... it took way too long and very unorganized, it stressed ever one out after such a stress free week.
