Review summary

Everything was great with two exceptions. The drinks were way overpriced ( $34.00 for two cocktails) and $154.00 to get blood pressure check at the medical center. Staff were well trained and courteous, they seemed to enjoy what they were doing and were quick to engage in conversation especially about their home country. Had a great time. Cruise director was super

Thanks for the price analysis on the cocktail pricing, opted to stick with drink package after reading this.

Just a thought on the BP issue, since I don’t know if this was just a regular check or something else; you could bring along a small digital wrist cuff and check your BP yourself. That would save that cost. Hope all is okay!

UBP is the only answer on any of the NCL ships, except Pride of America and Sun . Things sure do add up. IF you are planning to consume an alcohol on the cruise ALWAYS try to get UBP as part of promo. Better luck next time. Happy sailing.
