Just OK. Poor entertainment. Very rocky (shaky) trip on rough seas coming home. The ship's captain did not adequately advise us of the rough seas or prepare us; so many passengers were sickened and throwing up all over the ship.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
At least they had us wait inside the terminal for check-in..a BIG difference from prior years when the lined us outside in the freezing cold and snowy weather!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food was varied, and ample. People ate, ate, ate! Dining facility too crowded.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Pool was small and overcroded. EVERYTHING WAS OVERCROWDED. MUSIC OUTDOORS AND INSIDE WAS ONLY ADEQUATE. THEATER SHOW WAS JUST OK; DISAPPOINTING MUSICAL SHOW BECAUSE I HAD SEEN THE MUCH BETTER MOVIE VERSION OF "JERSEY BOYS." The racetrack was at the very top and rear of the boat--couldn't find it until three-days into the cruise. There was a cost for the racetrack cars!
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Performers were pretty mediocre. Comedians were un-funny.
Children's Programs
I did not travel with kids....
Service and Staff
1 out of 5
I got after my room steward; once I did, she kept my stateroom clean and well-supplied. I hated the cruise director--he was crude and rude, and full of himself!
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
I did not like the design of this ship at all; the layout felt tight and small notwithstanding this is one of the line's largest ships.
Cabin / Stateroom
1 out of 5
Cramped; terrible TV service; freezing temperature; took 3 days for management to fix the heating. Still, the ventilation was very poor. Stateroom itself was cramped and "tight."
Ship tip
The corridors are quite narrow all over the ship; the ship's captain's PA announcements were barely audible; ship's management was off--it took them 3 days to tend to stateroom problems that included no heat and terrible TV reception.
The town is now overpriced--everything is expensive by way of souvenirs. Nearby cruddy beach; $8 roundtrip taxi ride to Atlantis. The city itself is crime-ridden. Be careful
1 star for a vacation.. ? Some of yaw are weird! Lol
I can see 1 star if u got stranded the last few days. Or got food poisoning or something. 1 star!!?
We were on the Bliss, for the same itinerary, for NYE and it was fabulous. Aside from a fight between drunken middle aged men in the atrium, right before the ball dropped, everything was top notch. Excellent service, delicious food and a gorgeous ship with every amenity known to man. I don’t think cruising is for you.
I was on the Bliss and did not expe8anything you did. I had a great cruise, and the ship was beautiful and kept clean. Perhaps it's just you, and you expect way too much, so it's NCL's fault you complained about everything.
