Review summary

Bad food except for specialty dining. Ports are for industrial use with containers and chemical plants, no cruise port. Had to pay to get from these ports to the cruise port. Not possible to book excursions onboard , where sold out. Only old and disabled people onboard. Everything like cappuccino or yoga class and cart ride was paying extra. It was very crowded could get a sun bed at pool ( very small. Pool ) Nothing positive about this cruise.

For NCL reservations open up 120 days before sailing, which most people do to ensure they get what they want. You should have done your research and properly planned; including bringing a positive attitude cause it blows my mind when people find nothing but negative on any cruise, like why pay all that money?

One of our best cruises was on this ship last month. Ditto on cruising might not be for you. You can actually do research and plan excursions and research the ports prior to cruising. We actually look at alot of YouTube videos.

Sooo you’re looking for food from the QE2, atmosphere from Carnival, all for the price of NCL. Let us all know when you’ve found it.
