Just arrived back today from my first Norwegian cruise and, to be honest, it's probably not going to be my last. I traveled last year with Holland America and, certainly, Norwegian are not in the same league as Holland America but, for me, I think Norwegian is better value for me for the following reasons: 1) I was traveling with a friend but we had separate cabins and, on Norwegian, they have a number of cabins where there is no single supplement. In other words, if there's only one person in the room you're only paying for one, not as it is on Holland America, for two. 2) I had read a number of negative reviews about nickeling and diming of passengers by Norwegian i.e., always looking for money for things and whilst some of that was true from my experience, it wasn't much different from Holland America. Positives about my Norwegian Getaway experience: 1) universally friendly and helpful staff; every member of staff seemed to want to help, especially the room stewards, the staff in the restaurants and the bartenders. 2) The room: I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and the space; photos will follow soon. I was literally at the very front of the ship with a picture window with a window seat. The room had plenty of storage for 2 with storage space under the window seat, and under the TV, and no less than 5 shelves of storage in the decent sized bathroom. I didn't notice much movement being at the very front of the ship. One of the striking things for me was that the rooms were very well sound-insulated; I never heard my neighbors on either side. 3) I got the More at Sea package and was impressed with the wide array of high end liquors that were included for free with the package. One word of advice though is that you have to ASK for the high end stuff, or they'll default to the cheaper liquor. But, for example, the vodkas included Grey Goose, Belvedere, Chopin etc.! 4) The water slides: they were great. It's a lot of walking up flights of steps, but the rides were fast, and fun, and they were included in the price. The just okay: 1) the food in the main dining rooms. It was fine but it wasn't anything to write home about! The portions were small, as they usually are in the dining rooms, but the staff were always happy to give you multiple appetizers. There were a good selection of entrees, though the appetizers were more limited. 2) The specialty dining: my friend ended up with 4 specialty dining restaurant vouchers and we ended up with two good experiences and two okay experiences. The food was very good for all 4 venues but I had to pay for 2 venues and one of them, the fish restaurant, was not worth the $60 charge. On our last night we ate at the steak place, Cagneys, and that was great food and great service, and WAS worth the money. The bad: 1) Priority access: we paid for the priority access which included various perks, none of which were worth paying for. It was $300 mistake for us. We didn't get the priority boarding (not due to Norwegian's fault), the "free" breakfast room service menu was incredibly limited and was, basically, just a continental breakfast, the "free" treat on the second day wasn't a treat for me, we never needed to be tendered to an island during our cruise so didn't benefit from that, and, finally, I wasn't bothered about having a $50 discount to a $300+ spa treatment. So, ultimately, all I got that was worth anything, was the priority disembarkation on the last day. So, my strong advice is not to bother with the Priority Access pass. 2) The tours offered. I ended up taking 6 tours (all with a $50 discount because of the package I bought when I purchased the cruise, but only 2 of the 6 tours were positive experiences: swimming with the stingrays and the dolphin experience. The big issue with 2 of the other tours was that, in reality, for the Damajagua Falls and Golden Eagle excursion, you really need to be a GOOD swimmer; when going on the Falls experience you are underwater and out of your depth, and on the Golden Eagle excursion it's not a short swim to the shore. One day I went to the Coral Reef experience and had no Coral Reef experience because that attraction, which of course is why I booked it, has been closed for a year for renovation and we were not advised of that (not Norwegian's fault as the website for the Coral Reef center doesn't say but ...). And the best trip, with the dolphins was soured by being gouged $80 for digital photos of the experience! 3) Paying for water: I drink a lot of water and I object to having to pay for water. You could get water at the bars and at the Garden Buffet but ... on Holland America you could get bottles of water as part of your drinks package; that should be added on Norwegian too! Overall, although there were issues, I think that my cruise represented good value for money for me and was well worth the cost of the trip, except for the Priority Access, and I will likely return to another Norwegian cruise in the future. Overall, I thought my cruise was good value for the money I paid for it
