Balcony cabin was well equipped, plenty of coat hangers. Bed was comfortable. Cabin was always clean.
Some extra draw/shelf space would be nice. Bathroom was adequate.
Our cabin had an adjoining door which meant sometimes I could hear next doors TV and could feel the draft from the air-con.
Boat was at full capacity but never felt crowded always able to find a seat. Food was fantastic both in complimentary and specialty restaurants. New Starbucks on board.

Normally spend time round the pool,however the constant ridiculous loud disco music was inappropriate to a majority of over 65's on board staff however were enjoying it. Food was a let down even the paella we tried one night had hot spices in it,delicate queen scallops once again chilli and no mention of it on the menus. Fish dishes where skinny even cod had been sliced . As for the cabin there was a pair of knickers on the shelves which means they weren't checked and cleaned. I don't know if we will be cruising again but I don't think it will be with Norwegian
