Review summary

We had the best time and met some awesome people. I would always travel with NCL, but I will have to confirm newer beds first. I’m seriously having back pain from ours.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy Peasy!! Took about 40 minutes from shore to ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There were times that there was a bit of a wait. Nothing too extreme!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We never really took part, but it was fun to watch others. The pool is suckily small. Not very many people in the water, but no where to get in with all the people sitting along the edge.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
LOVED ‘Six’

Service and Staff

Our room steward Roel was a gem! Mostly everyone was super fun, but there were a few crabs in the bunch.

Definitely always ask for a mattress topper. I had the same problem & the topper helped a ton!

Trying asking for an eggshell mattress topper. Maybe it will help make you a little more comfortable.
