We were a little hesitant to book this cruise given the low percentage of people who liked their experience on this ship, but are glad we went with our gut and booked it. Overall, this was a great experience for a first-time cruiser. We loved it and would definitely consider going with Norwegian again.
What we loved:
- The food was fantastic. The buffet was what one would expect of a buffet, but the omelet bar in the morning was a nice touch. Dinners were great. However, we found the options at the Crossings restaurant were much better both in terms of variety and taste. Cagney's is worth the extra money. We both thought it was among the top 3 steaks we ever had. One thing they don't tell you for the specialty restaurants is that there is no limit on the number of appetizers, entrees, etc. that you can order.
Although it's right by the video arcade and children's area, we didn't have any issues with noise. It was also far enough away from the lobby where that wasn't an issue either. Wish they had an iron and ironing board in the room. Conditioner would have also been nice. (The shampoo alone dried my hair out.)
