Review summary

I was surprised, and disappointed, that NCL didn’t solicit us for feedback at the end of the tour. Not really tempted to cruise with them again, since other cruise lines were far better.

Food and Dining

The food was by far not as good as food I’ve had on other cruise lines. Really disappointed with the kids’ menus, as well—zero vegetables on the menu...seriously!?

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Choreography was not awesome, music was also not awesome. I did like the acrobatic dinner show—great idea, great talent...could improve the music.

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
It’s disappointing that the clubs close during the middle of the meal times (sea days) or charged for care during meal times (port days). When I wanted to go to an art auction, I bring my kids along because the club was closed. Also, I wish there were more family activities, such as family dance parties. Seems like it’s either kid or adult activities—not so many combined.

It was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Sparsely decorated. Roomy enough for our family, barely. Not enough storage for our clothes, though.

Ship tip

Save your money for Royal Caribbean or Disney

Location was great, but disappointed in the tour. Barely had 20 minutes to see the Vasa, which was our main attraction of the tour. Again, not enough bathroom breaks or leisure time.
