Review summary

Ok cruise,very poor service around bars and non existent around decks and pools. In MDR every morning had an issue to order a small pitcher of milk for my coffee. (Instead of the fake creamers on the table) it would sometimes arrive after breakfast, fruit starters would also arrive after the main order.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Delicious, not the buffet though, we stopped to get a afternoon snack instead of lunch ( like cheeses, sliced cold meats, crackers etc and it was very limited

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Pools were over crowded and empty “saved loungers” that the one ( very few) attendants told ME that I needed to remove their belongings!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Excellent shows such as Jersey Bits, Six, and Beatles

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Poor service for drinks etc around pools and bars

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Poor layout of adult pool, no quiet adult area

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Nice cabin, very clean, loved the shower

Ship tip

Be aware there is no quiet pool area except the bliss area that you need to book for the entire cruise at a big expense. Nothing like the sanctuary on Princess. This would keep us from ever booking on NCL again
