First Europe cruise with what we were told would be one of the best cruise companies out there. What we ended up with is one of the worse cruises I have ever been on. To be fair most of the passengers that we spoke with commented that they have always had good cruises with Norwegian and they could not figure out why this cruise was so bad, sorry to say this was my fist with this company.

First the good, room was good, clean and well maintained. Bars and cocktails were fine. Approximately 60% of the staff went out of their way to make it a enjoyable cruise.

The bad, top on the list was the food. I have never been on a cruise that had such poor quality food and lack of changing the menu from day to day. The exception was with 3 out of 4 dinner houses (specialty dining). Some of the rudest staff was found at the dining halls/restraint (not the Specialty dining), customer service area and the casino.It was so bad we tried to avoid these areas which is a shame because I actually like to go to the casino, but the machines was so tight and staff was so rude I just didn't go. Saved some money at least.

Norwegian shortens our time and the bus could not find a place to park. we did get to see the Eiffel Tower, but did not have time for anything else.
