Review summary

We were expecting a better experience with NCL, but their sales pitch almost ruined the cruise. They urgently need to improve the on board activities. The staff was very helpful and courteous.

Main dining were boring, almost the same options every other day. Buffers, although always packed, were better options

Onboard Activities

Most activities were sales pitch. 14 days of NCL trying to sell you something

Ship tip

Way too much sales pitch. We paid big bucks for the cruise to feel we were squeezed for money at every moment.
