We just returned from Norwegian Sun - we had a great time! The bed - they take two twins and push them together, then make the bed as a king bed. All cruise lines do this. It was pretty comfortable, but we had to ask for more pillows. The room comes with two flat ones. You can also request an egg crate for the bed if you're uncomfortable.

We enjoyed the choice of when to go for dinner - no set time. The shows on board were amazing. They had a dance troop who did some amazing stuff. This was my first cruise, but DH had been on Carnival before and said he liked Norwegian better.

One note - the bathroom is tiny. We're talking difficult to turn around in the shower small. If you get mini-suite or higher, the bathrooms are larger.

If you have any more specific questions, let me know!

That was the boat we went on for our honeymoon. To be honest, we weren't thrilled. I wouldn't cruise with them again. We are thinking of trying Royal Carribean next time.

Re: Noweign Spirit?

we are sailing on the norweigan spirit this may. i am gettin kind of nervous, because i had thought they had a good rep... but now all i'm hearing is negative things about them. we sailed with royal carribean last may and loved it... i truly hope this vaca lives up to last year's

Re: Noweign Spirit?

Re: Noweign Spirit?

Re: Noweign Spirit?

I went on this ship last year for a trip to the Bahamas out of NY. Honestly, it was my first cruise so I really have nothing to compare it to. With that said, I thought it was a nice ship - there were about 4 specialty restaurants plus the ballroom and one other one ( I think). The specialty restaurants were awesome, definitely worth spending the extra money. The regular food was good (breakfast and lunch esp.) - dinner, was just average.
The only real negative that I can think of is that there is only one pool and it's pretty small. You have to try to get a lounge chair really early or else they all get taken up quickly.
I have heard that the bigger ships are better as far as having more to do, more pools, decorated more elaborately etc... but we really had a great time and I didn't have any complaints about the ship. I also think you make your own good time so just enjoy yourself!

Entrance to Galaxy of the Stars where they have a performer, comedy acts, etc. You can just get a drink and see some really beautiful sunsets here.
