Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Balcony A really nice cruise by A Traveler from Fairfax Station, VA Sailing date: Nov 2012 Pros: The service, the treats and drinks served at pier after going ashore. Cons: The lack of variety of food served in main dining room. To repeitive. This is an older refurbished ship. It is lovely, clean and the staff attentive. The bath shower floods the floor. I was surprised to find that the TV was not flat screen. The balconey door was difficult to open. A plus, they discounted an excursion because the venue was late to arrive. A $30 onboard credit also added. Overall it is a nice ship. My main issue is the menu in main dining room was the same daily with only a few items changed. The food became boring. My major complaint is we had an early flight. We had to go to Guest Services for luggage tags. We were told that since we were not Platinum or Latitudes members we could not disembark before 9 am. We would have to carry our luggage off to insure we made the 11:15 flight. We are seniors but we did manage to carry them ourselves. We have sailed on several other lines without this problem. I'm not sure we will try this one again. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality The stateroom was the best part of this cruise. The staff kept it immaculate. It's location was ideal for dining and activities. It was somewhat small for three people. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Oceanview Pleasantly Surprised by A Traveler from Oregon Sailing date: May 2012 Pros: Freestyle Dining Someone once told me that Norwegian was a rank below the other lines. We have sailed Royal, Princess, Holland, and Carnival. I found it to be wonderful. The ship, staff, food, and entertainment were as good as if not better than other cruises. The itinerary to Scandinavia meant it was the trip of a lifetime. Can't think of anything negative to say. The buffet was what you would expect and not any different than the other cruise lines. Plus the price we paid was hundreds less! 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Lack of variety from day to day. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality All staff was excellent to help out in any way possible. Entertainment & Activities Loved the Hypnotist, Comedian. Regular singer dancers were okay like a high school production 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview This was my second cruise FIRST & LAST by William S from Florida Sailing date: Oct 2011 Pros: They only had evening entertainment but it was fair. Cons: being out in the rain and not permitted to enter the terminal and herded like cattle to be assigned a cabin and the extremely small portions offered at supper and the young kids running in the passage ways at all hours and not being able to contact anyone about it. Was not enough things to do offered during the day,the meals that had beef were tough and the waitress showed indifference,drink prices were HIGH.The nightly entertainment was fairly good. Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship was kept clean. Dining/Food All meals were small and those with any beef were tough and to me unchewable. Stateroom Quality Room was kept clean and made up. Ship Staff Quality Most of the staff were good but a few were not willing to help. Entertainment & Activities Not enough day time activities.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Not all I paid for ! by A Traveler from Macon, GA Sailing date: Dec 2010 Pros: Food, shows, not overcrowded Cons: Port changes This was my first cruise so I can't make a comparison, but I think there are better cruises to be had. I enjoyed the food, shows and overall feel of the ship but was dissappointed to have 2 of our 3 ports changed because of "technical difficulties" with one of the motors. After having to slow down they did what they could to compensate but I felt I didn't get what I paid for. We went to Samana, Dominican Republic and Great Stirrup Cay instead of St.Martin and St.Thomas. Weather happens and accidents happen but mechanical failures are preventable. As for the crew, they were great. They really make you feel welcome. Would I go again ? Yes, overall I did enjoy it.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great cruise by Dave F from Indiana Sailing date: Jun 2012 Pros: The ports were beautiful and just the right amount of sea days Cons: Weather ....I didn't think about it being at the Artic circle...so I didn't take the right warm clothing for July I loved the ship. Kind of hard to learn the lay out, but once you get the hang of it, it is a great little ship. did not have ONE bad meal on the ship....main dining room, buffet, or speciality resturant.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside A great way to hit lots of ports by Todd C from Columbus, OH Sailing date: May 2012 Pros: Seeing lots of different places in the 9 days Cons: Much too little time in Stockholm The ship was spacious and clean, well appointed: about what I expected. The specialty restaurants were a great option. I thought the elevator atrium was less ornate and less of a showpiece than other ships I've been on, which was interesting. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality The interior cabins laid out parallel to the hallway (instead of perpendicular) are quite spacious. A very pleasant surprise compared to my other two cruises. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities I enjoyed a few classes in the fitness classroom, which was nice to have apart from the workout room with all the equipment. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
