Review summary

Would never recommend NCL to anyone. There wasn’t much to be happy about. Cagneys and burn the floor were the only two things that were good on a 7 night cruise. That’s pathetic.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Slow but ok

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Cagneys was great. The only food worth eating the entire time. Too bad we only ate there once.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Burn the floor was excellent. And the Pour house band was great. Other than that, terrible. Not enough offerings. Poorly executed.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
One stage show. Very good. Pour house band great. There was no rest to rate. Poor at best

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Everyone seemed very unhappy on this ship. There was no employee who seemed happy or even not unhappy. Wait staff particularly was not good. We had one waiter who insisted on removing my daughter’s bowl of soup before she was finished with it. He literally pulled it out from under her as she was honing onto it saying I’m not finish. He yelled at her to give it to him. Shameful. The room steward was ok. Nothing great but not terrible. I couldn’t point to one person who impressed me in any way.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The layout of this ship was not good. Particularly the deck with the casino and the deck with the pool/buffet. Terribly layout. There were always dishes everywhere. And litter. And the smoke from the casino and other areas was choking.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Cabin was ok. Nothing special but not the worst. Clean enough. Balcony was small.

Ship tip

Don’t.

Lots of 1 stars. This is a red flag for me. I was on this ship back in November 2023 and had a great time.
