This was our second cruise on Norwegian and we loved it. The ship was great, the destinations were great We found nothing but helpful and accommodating staff. The only minor problems we came across were other passengers - usually persons from other cultures either unaware or uninterested in following american social mores (like waiting your turn) or inconsiderate persons who felt because they paid for a cruise they should be allowed to do what they want, but those were honestly few and far between.

I have to say I was getting a little nervous before we sailed based on a lot of the reviews that were posted, but that was not our experience at all, but you have to be aware of what you signed up for. We like a big boat - we like the variety, we like the stability and we like the party atmosphere, but that brings up my first comment...

If you really want to do something, you need to make it a priority - make a reservation ahead of time, get there early, be flexible about your schedule. Read more
