Review summary
Good ship but was a bit disappointed in the space for Caribbean. This ship lacked for warm water space. For a new ship was designed for cooler weather. Pools were so crowed not once did I get a chair even remotely close to the one and only pool. Most days not a chair to be found. The chairs were even so crowed up on the top decks took up the walk, jog paths so no outside exercise had to use the gym. Also I have to say the ship perhaps is a bit large for me 4300 people not enough space at all.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Ocean Blue
Best place again an up charge on top of our specialty dining that made it high but was delicious our wait staff was wonderful. For my friends birthday was a treat.
The Observation Lounge
Loved this space but for a Caribbean cruise this space was wasted. Should be half the space and again should of added another pool to this space. Outside the front were the piano was this place was a ghost town.
Food Republic
Good wait staff could of been friendlier. But nice that you had this option.
The Manhattan Room - Main Dining Room
It was okay, the wait staff was not has good and food about the same as Taste and Savor but we preferred those two over this restaurant.
The Local Bar & Grill
Okay the wait staff seemed to be overwhelmed at times, therefore lacked in friendliness.
The Cellars - A Michael Mondavi Family Wine Bar
Loved the wine and cheese pairing. Good hour and I thought was worth the up charge for me.
Taste Restaurant - Main Dining Room
Wonderful and the staff was wonderful. Free style no reservations the way to go. Dress up if you want, but don't have to was great to have options. We always dress up for dinner.
Savor Restaurant - Main Dining Room
Always good and staff was wonderful, preferred this over specialty dining. We did not even use one of our specialty dining.
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Sea
Food good but extra charge was a bit high. We actually used one of our specialty dining for this.
Garden Café
Was always good, clean and choices were Okay.
Atrium Bar
Always crowed very busy place everyone liked to hang out here.
Onboard Activities
Bliss Speedway
Not impressed not worth the upcharge of almost for 10 per person wasted space and not used hardly at all. Was of NCL money should of put another pool in up their. Need to dismantle and put something that people will use.
