New to Norwegian, 1st Time not on Carnival

[DUNCAN3925]

We are cruising in Breakaway 02/17, not sure if we made right decision. We are Platinum on Carnival and 1st timers on Norwegian. Any advice or comments are welcome.

You will not be disappointed!! :)

We were true Carnival-ites ;),,,then we decided to try NCL this past November (sailed on the Epic). Loved everything about the experience!!! Then sailed on the Dream weeks later....

 

Couple things we noted:

Food....Loved the choices on NCL. Thought that the quality of the food on the buffet was a couple notches above Carnival. We also loved the Freestyle.

 

Carnival staff is friendlier. We thought our Cabin steward on NCL was almost non-existent. Room was always cleaned and turned down, but had to chase him for things...ice, laundry bags, hangers, etc.

 

LOVED the entertainment choices. Especially the Blue's club. (Can only speak about the Epic)

 

Overall..GREAT EXPERIENCE! Will be booking the Escape this week for December.

I've done 3 Carnival and 1 NCL, and I chose NCL to book this time around. I was very pleasantly surprised with my cruise on the Epic and can't wait to see if the Getaway lives up to that.
