I am thinking about trying Norwegian from New York to Rome.
What are your experience in terms of how comfortable the flight is? Is it really cramped?
Regarding the meals, I see on this page that you need to pre-order your meal. Is there a price list anywhere? Are you allowed to bring your own food?
Main question I want an answer for: Do "Low Fare" passengers need to pay for meals? If so, is there a price list anywhere?

One question at the time please. Your first question ("is it comfortable") is off-topic for this site because it's completely subjective. You're always allowed to bring your own food (with some limits, you may get into trouble trying to eat durian or surströmming).

Recent experience with Norwegian (737-800, BUD-ARN) on Ultra-Low cost: Free wifi, comfortable leg space (I'm 180cm), felt roomier than Ryanair, I could even stretch my legs which isn't always the case with Ryanair. I would pick them over Ryanair, and with the free Wifi, I'd even pick them over some non-ultra-low-cost carriers. KLM etc will obviously have better comfort though. Food and drinks are extra.

I know the point is to get you to buy a more expensive fare or bring your own food, but $45 is a truly incredible price for an airline meal.
