We had a great time on the Norwegian Sea. Yes she is an older ship and yes she does show signs of wear. That said, she is kept up in excellent shape. She is very clean, they are cleaning her constantly. The service and food were first rate. In the dining rooms, if they even had a hint you were unhappy with your dish, they asked if you wanted something else. If someone at our table, didn't like what was put in front of them, they quickly replaced it with whatever you asked for. The wait staff and food was excellent. I can't say enough about the food and service. The cabins are small, but very clean. We never had any unpleasant odors, as I have heard others complain about. She is a smaller ship and does roll in high seas. We were in a midship cabin on the second deck and I was glad. We had alot less motion when the sea was rough. The entertainment was great as were the activities. We loved our time on the Sea.
