Review summary

Overall, meh… good, but not great. We wanted more, NCL didn’t deliver. The ship entertainment was not that good (comedy was 2nd class, Six was the worst production show I’ve seen, and Jersey Boys went on for far to long)… food was good for the most part, time spent in ports was the worst I’ve ever had. NCL docks very remotely, then you have to take a bus to get to town. When you only have 4 hours in port, then you take 30 min on each side to wait for the bus… it wasn’t enough time. Lots of people complained. Weather was good. Bar service was good. Our room steward never once called me by name or gave us towel art (plus I tipped her up front and thought she would have provided better service).

They stopped towel animals a few years ago. Too bad you didn't enjoy your cruise, some people are just too hard to please.

I know how you feel. I went on a Norwegian ship and had the worst time and service available. I will never ever go on an Norwegian ship again. even if it was the last and only cruise ship only cruise ship or cruise company I would never cruise again.
