Overall great cruise. Went Jan/Feb so there were no kids on board (we were told 18 in total). Weather was perfect and I loved that the captain and pilot explained so much about the Panama Canal as we were preparing to go through and then during the transit.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Delayed a bit as cruise was late disembarking prior cruise passengers. But we were called upon timely and efficiently.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Loved most of the specialty restaurants as we went to all of them, some twice. The worst and absolute slowest service was LeBistro. Would not return. Unpleasant staff and our party of 2 spent more than 2 hours in dining room and had reservations. Missed shows that evening. All other restaurants, including complimentary, were very good to excellent.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
spent alot of time in thermal spa as pre-purchased the daily pass for the entire cruise. Wonderful facility with amazing views. Husband went to fitness center everyday and liked it alot.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Liked Six. LOVED Jersey Boys! Loved the Beatles band. Comedians were hit or miss. Walked out of one show (I think his name was Dan) as he was horrible. Could've used a few more shows for this long 15 night voyage though. The rock band was also very, very good.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Mostly excellent. Aside from waiter in LeBistro, and a few grumpy bartenders, especially one at the bar outside of Taste and Savor, everyone else was lovely.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very clean. Great ship layout. Easy to find everything.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Perfect size. Loved the larger bathroom and shower. Plenty of storage space. Great location on ship.
Ship tip
If the itinerary has alot of sea days, purchase the thermal spa day pass.
Very easy. Only issue was with NCL shuttle bus to airport. Waited about an hour on the bus before leaving for the airport. Next time we will get an Uber.
