3 out of 5
There were a few things to do on this ship and it was very kid-friendly. There was a water slides, an arcade, a ropes course, many pools etc…
Spa was great!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Loved Six the musical and burn the floor was also very good.
The pool deck often had singers.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Very short staffed. The room steward was great but, he had to do all the rooms on the floor so it took some time. The bartenders were overworked and it was sadly the same person all day. The food in the restaurants also took a while to come but non of it ruined the overall experience.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very nice and very clean!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Great size, it was the biggest room I’ve seen on a ship. Loved the whole experience and my room was always cleaned.
Ship tip
Be patient with the workers( short staffed) and Relax.
Great Review! Glad you had a good time & enjoyed your 1st cruise! Awesome & hope for many more to come. Loved that you mentioned to have “patience” with the staff. It’s remarkable to me that cruise after cruise are all booked to capacity, but yet these greedy companies refuse to pay their staff accordingly & fail to attract & add good employees. This is a multi-billion dollar enterprise, but review after review it’s mentioned that short staffing affects the quality of the experience, and yet they do nothing about it. Shameful! Agreed, these people are worked to the bone. Especially now that everything has re-opened but yet, they’ve kept pre-pandemic staff levels. NCL, is a great cruiseline, but they too need some major improvements. I hope you joined the rewards program. With this cruise you have already earned points towards your Tier. Well worth it! Check with NCL, or your booking agent to bring up to speed. I am Platinum & my NCL perks are amazing! Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year & happy cruising 😎⚓️🤩❣️‼️
