I chose this cruise because of the ports of call but it was so much more. We were so busy from the moment we got up. Freestyle dinning is great, food anytime of the day. The ports of call were great and no matter what time we came back to ship we a had a delicious meal either at specialty restaurants or the many other complimentary restaurants. Every night there was excellent entertainment. They had Howl at The Moon Dueling pianos. They had unbelievable performers at Syd Normans. I saw the broadway play SIX as well as a performance called Burn the Floor. I took a behind the scenes tour (which was a little pricey ) and I saw all the workings of the ship . All the crew areas ie.. laundry, kitchen , bridge etc.. I was AMAZED at how spotless everything was . Norwegian kept this boat impeccably clean. This cruise was so much fun. There was something for every age group. Things were hoping well into the night.
