I was reading reviews on here and was getting nervous. I even reached out to Norwegian about just how many negative reviews there were. They didn't reply whatsoever, but I figured the small group of us were just going to go on our vacation and make the most of it. The price was right and the drinks were included. Boarding was a little messy because there was a big group of travel agents, so they stopped the process for people like us in order to let them all on first. There wasn't much of a delay and we were on the boat before noon and in the pools, which was our goal. The waiters in the pool area came around somewhat frequently but the pool bar itself moved very slow. They did have two pop up bars in the pool area with basic drinks to help cut down on wait times. This boat is set up kind of strange where the entertainment is facing away from the pool. We found plenty of seating, it just took going up the stairs a deck.

The food and service at each restaurant was amazing. I did make reservations for each night prior to departure. Great selection, delicious entrees. We had a group of 5, so dinner took about a hour and a half. Some might consider that long, but you are on vacation and with friends, why rush it.

Burn the Floor was amazing. We were surprised to see it was an entirely different production from the Burn the Floor on the Getaway that we experienced in November. Priscilla was a bit too much. I left early. I wanted to at least give it a try with an open mind, but this production does not appeal to anyone aside from the LGBT community. Howl at the Moon was great, they kept the crowds having fun. The Beatles and 4blue in the cavern club both were terrific, but get there early because it fills up. The band at the pool was one of the best I have seen for deck entertainment. Mandy was our same cruise director from the Getaway in November and was just as lively and fun. Read more
