Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

“My husband and I were first time cruisers. The ship was beautiful. The service was amazing. All the staff were friendly. Everything was so clean. It never felt crowded. The food was great. So many different options for entertainment. We were never bored. We did three excursions. The boss in Honduras, the dolphin adventure in costa maya and the secret river in Cozumel. All were fantastic. Well organized. What we loved, is that you don’t have to worry about anything, Norwegian has it all taken care of. My husband is 6’6″ and I am 5″10 and we had a balcony cabin. It never felt too small or cramped. The bed was great to sleep on. You can’t hear anything. It was better then most hotel rooms. I took advantage of the spa and got a facial, color and cut. The rates were competitive to any market. The service was great. We thought the whole process for embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. No hassles. I would definitely travel on Norwegian again. I highly recommend it.  “-Carmenjacobson
