Review summary

I love NCl, but this time wasn't so good, they only had 2 shows per cruise. The cruise directer was really bad, they need to replace him if they want more people to cruise with NCL. All excursions are worthless because it's just not enough time to see everything, yet you will pay full price for it .

Sorry you didn't like the cruise. I was on the same cruise and felt like it was a great cruise. Not sure what you mean by two shows, since there were several. Off the top of my head I can think of Cirque (yes, you do have to pay extra for that... so we didn't see it), Rock of Ages, Burn the Floor, the Second City (and their shows each night were different so you could go more than once), Howl at the Moon, the magician guy (didn't see him), IMPAC (this band played in the Atrium and on the pool deck), and there was live music nightly in lounges and the Manhattan Room. I might even be missing some things. There was also a movie every day, I believe. I found that the shows were good quality and were better than the other 3 NCL ships I have been on. Also, the way they did the shows was different (and better) than the other ships, as there were multiple opportunities to see each show, rather than one show per night. I understand that some people don't like the reservations system, but to me it made a lot of sense.
