The other reviews written describing this ship give
a very good description of the ship's entertainment and dining venues. My review
is a reflection of what my husband and I observed during our cruise.
We had a balcony cabin, 10668. Very comfortable bed, easy to use safe, nice to
have a small refrigerator. We like the view thru the sliding glass door which
usually covers the entire outside wall of the cabin. Also being able to sit on
the balcony and have breakfast or just to look over the scene when arriving in a
port.
The casino is the best we've seen on a ship. The personnel were very helpful and
friendly.
The ports of Acapulco, Ixtapa, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas were all
interesting and fun to visit. Shopping, especially for silver jewelry is
popular. For touring Acapulco ask for Carlos, a cab driver, along the walk from
the ship, who provided us with the best all day and night service we've had in a
port. Tell him the couple he made reservations for at La Perla restaurant
recommended him.
We decided to not pay for any Specialty restaurants on this ship. We had been on
the Norwegian Spirit to Alaska in 8/2004 and the food was excellent. This was
not the case on this ship. It seems Norwegian now wants to serve low quality
food in the free restaurants to drive people to pay for a good meal. At least
this is what we felt was happening.
Embarkation was a nightmare since there was a line of a least 200 people waiting
outside to get on the ship to be processed to their cabin.
Disembarkation was fast and efficient.
Overall, other than dinner, this was an enjoyable cruise. Never had to wait to
board a tender, never had to wait to enter a restaurant - had a lot of pluses.
