The Spirit is the smallest and oldest ship in the Norwegian fleet. I am liking it
However one thing that is very bothersome for me is that there is no TV, none at all, there are no news channels, no sports channel, no kids channels. I do not believe we were ever told this before sailing.
I watch a lot of news so it has presented a sort of problem for me. I have met one person on ship who was very unhappy without his news TV. I imagine the lack of sports programming would bother some.
You a watch these channels on your iPad or phone. And you can upgrade to Internet with streaming but for me, it is not the same. I enjoyed the News Channels.
However Norwegian offers four movie channels that they have put together - Family, Comedy, Drama, and Action. There are a set number of movies on each channel that rotate over and over again The Family Channel offers many movies that would appeal to children. So does the Action Channel
For me, I have learned to enjoy more programs offered on the ship and maybe it is a good thing that we are watching less news these days.
Almost every day is a port day so we are not bored.
Come to think about it, I do not believe there is a library on this ship either. I will have to ask.
I asked Guest Services why no TV and it was explained that it has to do with connectivity while sailing in Japan
