Piers were great. Drinks were excellent. Food was severely lacking in quality and flavor. So much so I may rethink traveling in NCL again.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Sadly the food was not up to par in any of the complimentary venues. Overcooked meats, very dry pastas, desserts were just not good. Ice cream machine was good. On top of that, at the Brazilian Steakhouse everything was dry. Salad bar was good. Carneys was just passable. This is my 5th NCL cruise and by far the worst food ever. I can say I literally had 4 tiny pieces of meat at the Brazilian Steakhouse and took 4 bites of dry meat. Had a small salad. Not with it at all

Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Room steward was practically non existent until the last night when he came in with a smile and told us if we needed anything to let him know. I'm a good tipper - I did not tip above the standard NCL charges. Rary interacted with any other service. Waiter in Carneys was quite friendly and was tipped extra even though the food was mediocre at best.
Ship Quality

Everything was quite clean
Cabin / Stateroom

Really nice, clean room, spacious. However, you can hear the pool chairs being out away at night, can get a little noisey from the walking and bouncing around on level 12 where the pool is
Fine, easy. TV check out says outdoor breakfast area is open till 9:30 which is great for those who don't need to rush out, but at 9 they announce you have to leave now. Doesn't make sense
''Very nice but skip the long lines at the caves and tours. Honestly to the shopping area and enjoy the ambiance and food.''
Imagine what you will be saying if it wasn't a nice port... If you wait two hours in cable cars in Santorini it is not a problem, if you wait in Melissani cave it is....
