Review summary

Not impressed with this cruise compared to other NCL cruises I have taken. Specialty restaurants sold out when we boarded ship causing us to miss 1 per paid meal. Entertainment was rescheduled after being pre booked. Poorly done.

5 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and handled well.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment was sub par. Rock of ages and burn the floor were amazing but the rest of the entertainment was mediocre at best.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Pleasant but didn't have the personal touch.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Design of ship is poor. 1 pool for 4000 guests and all action is confined to center of ship causing large crowds.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was excellent and very large bathroom with double sink. Cabin was fantastic.

Ship tip

Be prepared for long lines and a poor tender operation.

By the Time we got to island. Only had an hour and a half to explore after making tender reservations. Waited in theater for 2 hours to get on tender boat. Very poorly done by NCL.
