Review summary

As I said this was the worst cruise we have been on . We let saying we will not go on a norwegian cruise again. We have cruised on 4 other lines and nothing g like this one, we cruise dec17-24 and even though school was out, it was good. I will not cruise on a line that overbooks and makes passages not enjoy their cruise. Along with no dress code enforcement in resturant, I don't want to see butts walk into the restaurant while iam eating.

The one show we did get to pre sign up for was great

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

There was a great wait person in one resturant, one great bartender and our cabin steward was the best... I could not get a skinny margarita made right, only if I went to one bar.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship appears older, it's design is not stylish, it is clean, but not a Beautiful ship. Resturants are clean, bathroom clean areas wear clean. It was a very clean ship. . updating.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Small cabin and sofa needs updating, deck is small also, doesn't work for a 6'5 man, he was very uncomfortable just trying to sit. Legs hit wall.. we had to squeeze our way around and we are not big people.

Ship tip

Don't sail in march ( anytime) ship is over crowded, they put 4888 people on a shop that should hold 4000. So you can't enjoy your cruise, pools/ hot tubs / restaurants/ entertainment always full.. Any other time if year, I don't think would even be better. They don't seem to care about us, just money.. you pay for all the little things ( bowling 8,00/ other games 1.66. You can let the front know your probles, but they show no concern..

Disembarkation

Except for the fact that you have to leave your room by 8am for a 9:45 disembarking. I feel it went very smoothly..

If he is 6'5"...book a larger stateroom. Don't be so cheap!

Sorry you couldn’t find much to enjoy on the ship. Perhaps you haven’t cruised in a while but formal attire is not required in the dining rooms any longer.

Sorry you did not enjoy your vacation. We have been on ncl many times and never had a problem getting into dining. We actually prefer it to the set dining times. We do find cruises over holidays and in the carribbean to be over crowded. We found this on Royal over memorial day and new years.
