Norwegian Spirit

What it's like

• A mid-size ship: you'll feel more movement than on the giants when the sea is rough.
• About average room per guest for a cruise ship.
• Refreshed recently (2025), so it has many of the line's newest features.

Highlights: Extensively redesigned as an adult-focused ship with upgraded Italian specialty dining (Onda by Scarpetta) and a more serene, quiet onboard atmosphere.

Where to book your cabin

• For the least motion, choose a cabin low and in the middle of the ship (midship), near the central elevators.
• For quiet, avoid cabins directly under the pool deck, buffet, theater or nightclub, and right beside the elevators or service areas.
• Cabins at the very front feel the most pitching in rough seas; cabins at the very back can feel some vibration from the engines.
• Some balcony cabins have partly blocked views (lifeboats, for example); the deck plan marks them, so check before you book.
