Pros: Available dates, length, location.
Cons: We felt "nickel and dimed," decor needed updating, older crowd.
The Bottom Line: Choose another cruise line unless your looking for a Seniors cruise.

| alohakgonz's Full Review: Norwegian Wind |
I purchased this cruise as a gift for my husband. We had only cruised once before on a different line. Key attributes in choosing this cruise were the dates and location offered.
The boat was advertised as recently renovated, however the decor needed updating. A highlight was the Freestyle cruising which left dinner to when/wherever we wanted, however, to go to the "Italian" or "French" restaurant, both supposedly "included", an "upcharge" had to be paid. Everything was an extra charge on this cruise, and definitely over priced. Free munchies were usually cheap chips or sandwiches.
Shore excursions were expensive, but seemed no more so than the other cruise we had taken.
Cruise line staff were unable to answer simple questions about TV schedule, which we found copies of many days later in a public area near where we asked the question.
Cruisers generally tended to be in their 60s--we are much younger and found the nightlife less than exciting.
Shows were relatively good, if short. Other pool-side entertainment was mediocre.
Art auction was okay.
No casino on this cruise.
Walking path led directly past the exhaust on one side of the ship for about 20 yards, making walking/running uncomfortable.
All-day buffet was slightly above average, but very crowded at mealtimes.
