We will never, ever cruise on NCL again. They kept us on the ship longer than I could ever have imagined and it was not pleasant.

This ship is a disaster. A once elegant vessel has herded too many people on shortie cruises and it's definitely taken a toll. The ship is dated, dirty and the cabins are hardly fit to entertain guests. The staff can hardly keep up with cleaning it and there was construction all over the pool deck on the ceilings.
This was a waste of money.

The itinerary was great, the ship was very clean and the service was great. However, the additional charges for for coffee, water or drinks was outrageous. $14.08 for two cups of coffee was heavy as was $6.49 for a bottle of water and the coffee you don't pay extra for was undrinkable. These prices are penalties for not buying the beverage packages, which are grossly overpriced unless you drink fluids all day nonstop. The specialty restaurants are way over priced for cover charges as well. Even the Porch Grill had a $30 per person charge for burgers and sandwiches. At the end of the cruise, it doesn't feel like you got such a great deal afterall.
Cruise tips
One of our favorites but it was the only port that was a full day and it was Sunday-everything was closed.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
The cruiseline cancelled this port and we spent 3 full days again going back to NY
Loved the port but again 1/2 day. We left at 1:30
The port was ok but again it was a short day. And rearranged from the original itinerary.
Our favorite.
San Juan was great - did we really need almost 3 days to get there? Got there at 5:00 p.m. and it was dark by 7...We were right back on the ship.

Dont do it.
The cruiseline cancelled it and substituted St. Maarten

Be careful of the excursions you choose. They are becoming quantity vs quality. We were rushed through several and the companies tried to do too many things and we just ended up sitting on a bus too long.
