Review summary

We were so exasperated from the arduous flight - going and especially returning - that it put a pall on the overall experience. Food and on board crew were great but the going and coming back ruined the trip. Much unlike our other NCL experiences.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Flight connections were poorly planed. What a fiasco! Getting Covid test was a senseless, ill-conceived, confusing (for your passengers and the company operating it) exercise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

These were keeping with the other NCL experiences I've had.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not a lot of choices for seniors.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Magician was OK but not as exciting as past entertainers. Howl At the Moon was crude and in very bad taste.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Excellent. NCL picked and trained a great crew.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It seemed the room size was smaller than my past experiences.

Ship tip

Wait until the Covid restrictions are lifted. Get ready to face complicated forms & restrictions from the US Government and confusing information from NCL.
