Enjoyable cruise, tested positive for COVID the day after we got off. Not the most fun I've ever had on a cruise, but the premium beverage package sure helped. I wish the bed was on all cruise ships. It was one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on in a cruise cabin.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Easy and efficient. No problems.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
There is no traditional dining on this ship. They basically turned it into NCL's freestyle dining so you either show up for dinner and have to wait or you have to make a reservation every night for dinner. And they practically seat you in a stranger's lap. They cram you in with NO social distancing.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
No true karaoke or dance classes. They had a modified Zumba type class outside in the heat.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Great comedian, awesome house band (Next Stage), and a bunch of singing. I would have liked more variety in the types of entertainment offered. Lack of Latin music available. This is a Caribbean cruise out of FL and visited Puerto Rico. The "Latin Hits" party hosted in Eden had a terrible DJ.

Ship Quality

The ship is beautiful and still looks brand new. The theatre is impressive.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was great. Love the different lighting options and enough places to plug in electronics.
Took an open air tour with a driver that said he could take a card because we told him we didn't have cash. After the tour he told us he couldn't take a card and we had to get cash at the MaPau Casino ATM. The ATM completed the withdrawal but didn't give us the cash. Spoke with a casino employee and she assured us it wouldn't be taken out of our bank and to try again, but it was deducted both times.
Spent the night before hanging out at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL. Super fun! Band played great rock covers. Saw the light show.
Was on Apex March 2022. Didn't get Covid. For our tastes, this ship was boring, except for the drawing classes with Michael. We didn't review this ship, because for us there were more negatives than positives.....and we don't want to be negative about any cruise. Oops, guess I just was. For us, any cruise is better than no cruise.
