Review summary

Overall we had a great time. Don't know if we would go royal Caribbean again because we really love Norwegian and this experience made us realize that.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall the food was great the variety was goid could've been better but all in all no complaints. Our server in the main dining room Leonardo was absolutely excellent.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The ship was small so I don't know how to fix the problem with the pool / Jacuzzis but it's problem there was no space in either most of the days onboard. the fitness center was just bad I guess it was enough for a vacation workout but I feel it could be better even with a small ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were great especially the comedian and karaoke was good but they need to add more songs to the catalog. I think the a activities were good given the limited space on the ship.

We would like to know too. We have only cruised Carnival, but are checking into both RCCL and Norwegian. 😋😋

Might I ask why you prefer NCL? I have never cruised with Norwegian.
