We were so pleasantly surprised with this ship. It has been well maintained, the service was really outstanding, the food was great, we would definitely go on this ship again. Check in was fast and easy, as was disembarking. If anyone is wondering, they do have a baby pool with a small slide, but no nursery (just the normal kids club for ages 3 and up). They also have a bigger slide, but a min 42" requirement. We did miss having the specialty dining venues on the majesty, but we did get to do the Chef's Table, which was awesome, only room for 10 people each night, so it was very intimate. I highly recommend this ship for a short getaway!

just ok
This is an older ship and the layout is weird. I have been on 13 cruises and these were by far the smallest cabins I have ever seen. The elevators don't all go to all the floors (even ones right next to each other). We had ok service (except in the dining room and our cabin steward), but nowhere near as good as we have had on other lines or on NCL Getaway (which we loved). The food was good and so were the drinks. In the dining room there were several nights when the kids didn't get their food until well after the adults were served, so that was disappointing. our cabin steward was the worst we have ever had by a mile. I think this was the only time I didn't tip extra on a cruise. Overall, I would sail with NCL again, but only because we had such a great experience on the Getaway. If this had been our first experience, we probably wouldn't go back.
