This was my 23rd cruise, 1st with Norwegian Cruise Line. Really liked freestyle dining, this would be the main reason I would sail Norwegian again. Food was good in buffet and main dining restaurants. The steaks at Cagneys were very tender and the service was great. Frenh Restaurant was ok but did not care for items offered. O Sheehans was good for the fish & chips and the rueben sandwich. I ate ...
We selected an aft facing cabin for our Panama Canal transit, boarding in SFO. A great treat for us was to watch the Navy Blue Angles practice over the bay just before we left. That alone was worth the trip. Leaving SFO under the Golden Gate with picture perfect weather was a tremendous experience.
Some of the ports were pretty "why-even-get-off" the ship kind of stops - but we were mainly ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to do a full transit of the Panama Canal. It left from San Francisco and sailed out under the Golden Gate Bridge, which was wonderful. We also enjoy "Fleet Week" activities by the Blue Angel Navy team while waiting to sail!
We had been on a previous cruise on Norwegian Sun and liked the intimacy of this smaller ship.
We decided to book and Oceanview ...
This cruise was picked because of the ports and the length of the cruise. I thought a 21 day trip might be to much but we were ready to continue. The service from all the staff was top notch in all areas of the ship other than the Spa. They were always on the hunt for customers. It was a true all inclusive because we had everything we needed to make our celebration all we wanted. Embarkation was ...
21 days - Price was right
Very good Ports of Call. The staff were very warm friendly and welcoming and could not do enough to make my stay a very pleasant one.
The Cruise Director Andy and the Shore Excursions lady Jessica Potter were so helpful - I would really like to thank them for making my lst Cruise a huge success. The quality of shows was very good. with a good variety Plenty of ...

Please see my thorough review of the 9/23/2017 Niew Amsterdam 7 day Alaska cruise, right before this 5 day Repositioning cruise, for review comments relating to Enrichment Activities, Embarkation, Public Rooms, Service, Dining, Entertainment, and Onboard Experience which were identical for both cruises. This review will mainly concern the differences between the two cruises, comments ...
The cruise offered a chance to circumnavigate South America with mostly interesting ports. Speedy embarkation, The ship has sophisticated/muted interiors and an outstanding display of art & musical memorabilia throughout the ship. Cabin 6180 looked fine, spacious with all amenities but when the ship was at sea a creaking/grating noise came from the junction of the veranda & the ceiling, the noise ...
We chose this ship because of the smaller size and weren’t disappointed. Superior service from all departments, everyone was so friendly. Great food! We took advantage of all the dining venues on offer and enjoyed the variety, we found the dining staff always ready and able to accommodate special requests. Room service was speedy and accurate. Love the lemonade in the buffet. Balcony cabin ...
i needed a short dcruise to be able to go to a family wedding, this was the winner. i did the full 37 day cruise last year and didn't mind the 22 day shorter segment.i am a loyal mariner and find a lack of respect by HAL for these people. for the past few years there has never been a mariners cocktail party to meet the crew and captain.i can buy my own drink it's just the thought that they care ...
This cruise offered me an opportunity to explore some locations that I would not be able to travel to on my own.
I hear that this ship is going in to dry dock to have an update. It is a good thing because it coud use a little face lift.
My cabin was fine but the heat did not work as well as other boats I have been in, the sink kept dripping but all in all they kept the cabin ...
