Review summary

NCL was good overall. We will definitely cruise with them again but be a little more aware of our stops for time planning.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Great! No problems.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The wait time for some restaurants were long without a reservation. I think the food was good but NCL could have done better with the temperature of the food in the Savor and Taste Dining Rooms. I wish they had warm bread in the main dining rooms. The bread was hard. Cagneys was good except the steak was over done. Otherwise, it was good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Bingo and the racetrack were good. We had a day at sea when it was rainy and cold so the outdoor activities got cancelled. On the day 2nd day at sea the weather was great and we sat by the pool. I wish they had taken the activities that were cancelled and had them that day as there was nothing to do by the pool for entertainment.

We did the Pub Crawl and it was great. Wish we had more time there as we didn’t get much of a chance to shop and visit outside of the pubs we visited.

Victoria, British Columbia

Hated this port. We got there at 8:00 pm and left at 11:30 so no time to do anything and all of downtown was closed. Good thing we didn’t take a taxi to town! We stayed by the port shops and did a little shopping. Waste of a stop.
