Review summary

This was a "free" cruise from my gambling done on my last Alaskan cruise (which was free from previous cruise, etc.). Got to say the comps on-board were horrible. Last cruise I got everything taken off the bill and had a balance to take my wife shopping with. This cruise I won more money, gambled longer and bet higher, yet was told I only had $48 in comps (vs the $100s last cruise). Maybe they are waiting to give me a Haven Suite for my next free cruise offer :-)

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Long line outside on the sidewalk when we got there off the bus from NCL airfare.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Nothing was hot! Obviously they have to bulk prepare meals, but most of the food was warm at best by the time it was served to us! However, the made to order omletts at the breakfast buffet were hot and good!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I'm around 340 pounds, so most of the on-board activities (go-karts, slides, etc), I'm too big to participate.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Jersey Boys and Six were very good. Unfortunately, we boarded at 2pm and went straight to entertainment reservations. ALL the comedy performances were sold out. They did have 1 performance in the theater and if they were the same comedians at the shows, we didn't miss anything.
