Creator's Key Takeaways

She is one of Norwegian cruise lines most talked about vessels and not always for the reasons you might expect.

The short answer is that for the right kind of cruiser, she absolutely does.

The freestyle dining concept means there are no fixed dining times, no assigned tables, and no formal dress codes hanging over your evenings.

The solo cabin program with its dedicated lounge remains a benchmark that few rivals have matched.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining reservations early as popular venues fill up quickly.
Get up early on sea days to secure a good spot on the pool deck.
Consider a specialty dining package for better value on specialty restaurants.
