Review summary

You have to address the parking in the city of Miami if you are going to open a "Mega" port for Mega cruise ships... I heard nothing other than horror stories of how people are NEVER going to embark from Miami because of the mass confusion about the car parking situation. We are the customers, but need to be treated with a little more respect and dignity. I understand it is just parking your car, but really unprofessional. The company probably doesn't have a lot of say, but scaring your customers to another port --even just one-- might have that perverbial "domino effect"...

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Took 5 minutes, very organized... perfect

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and service was great... A lot of talented service personnel who know their craft

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The go-cart track was just OK... I am not sure if that is the answer for an ultimate entertainment experience, but it is the only ship with a go cart track

Bliss Speedway

3 out of 5

Overrated.... It was more work to drive the carts then fun... Something new and novel and it was nice to do something that no other ship has, but I probably would not re-book this cruise ship solely based on this race track experience

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Some good shows and just some OK entertainment

Children's Programs

no children, traveled solo

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Bartenders and food staff very good. My room steward I rated as just OK... Not very friendly or helpful. I had a room-phone issue, mentioned it but she never fixed it..... She was not very amiable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Not the greatest location, below some sort of rail track, a lot of carts or cars moving above my room....

3 out of 5
Overrated, Atlantis was a "dirty" resort needing a refurbishment... Staff there were not very friendly... Casino machines were old... Not good Taxi to Atlantis Casino

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Opening paragraph rant has NOTHING to do with NCL or the ship!

We don’t understand what the OP is trying to say. We’ve never had a problem parking at Miami and always park at the port...Its a short walk to the terminal
