Review summary

I don’t care for how NCL is pushing more and more to buy more and more especially food. I didn’t spend all that money to go on a cruise to buy food. It’s becoming very tacky

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship is beautiful indeed , but did not like the layout of certain items. The spa is nothing like the Epic , locker room very tiny , no amenities , co Ed sauna and steam I didn’t like. The Bliss lounge which is the show area is more like a convention center than a theater, all same level seating. The ship is clean cause it’s new , but my cabin had leftovers from prior guests.

The studio cabin was good and loved the studio lounge. I was disappointed that the room had prior guests papers in the room

Was very long lines waiting to go through customs. I paid for a trans to airport and we all waited in the rain for 20 minutes , very unorganized

What specifically? We are going on Bliss in February and unless it’s specialty dining, specialty drinks there is other “free” food options .. I never have come home from a cruise hungry. There’s usually more than one main dining room, pub and buffet area. But I agree about nickel and diming guests if this is what you are referring to as we never opt for the “extra specialty” stuff...
