Review summary

This is my 2nd NCL Cruise. Had a better experience on the Escape. This felt very crowded.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Efficient but nothing special

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining room was good. Carney’s Steakhouse was very good as was the Mexican restaurant. Q was disappointing. Paid for Oceans and when I get there they tell me that the price I paid on line was assuming it was part of the specialty dining package and because I had already used the package allotment they would refund me the amount that I paid on line and charge me the full amount. ? The system on line should tell you this.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Jersey Boys was great. The Beatles band was very good. That’s it. Havana was just ok. No plot or story line. $10 charge for go cart that literally takes a few minutes to complete? $10 for laser tag?? After spending what you spend these activities should be free. There was a few good bands in the atrium but allot of cheesy game shows to just take up time.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Compared to Royal NCL ship feels crowded. The thermal spa package was oversold. Crowded. Good luck finding a chair by the pool. If you want to use the running/walking track you need to wake up early as it is totally blocked by chairs afterwards.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was good.

Ship tip

Book when school is in session so you don’t feel crowded or book on Royal or Celebrity Edge.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Land and Sea tour is totally worth it. Very educational.

Thumbs Up 4

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5

Atlantis is just about separating you from your $. Overpriced and crowded. Imagine a resort charging just to be allowed to walk around. Would never book there or take an excursion there again.

Thumbs Up 6

Disembarkation
