Creator's Key Takeaways

this is our first Norwegian sailing and since it's the 11th day and we've been on the ship for quite a while now

the food has been a very pleasant surprise the free food too

the service level is usually great on most cruise ships but here on Norwegian it has really been above and beyond

I would definitely be willing to sail on Norwegian again
