Review summary

I'm certainly not in any type of a hurry to sign up for another cruise in my immediate future.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was ok, a bit confusing once we boarded ship on what we were supposed to do

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Did not get to try an MDR due to crowds. Specialty was great. OSheehans ok. Buffet, I did not care for. You had a hard time finding ranch dressing on the salad bars.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did not get to see the Rumors show, first one was full, so we waited till 10, and then a lot of the people that already seen it were allowed to stay and watch again.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Same as above

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Let me be clear, this was not the staff's fault, they were just extremely understaffed.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Met expectations

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was a balcony stateroom, and I was disappointed by how crowded it was. I was happy with how quickly we were allowed in our rooms.

I've never been a fan on NCL MDR food. But If I want one of their great destinations I put up with what I know ahead of time.

Sorry you had dinner reservation issues. We have not experienced that on NCL. Rumors is excellent.and it does fill up quickly. The venue is small, but it adds to the experience. The show would not be as good in a large venue.

Sorry your first cruise wasn’t the best. Maybe try a different ship or different time of the year. Thank you for your review.
