Review summary

NCL has cut so many expenses to save money that passengers who have cruised before state will no longer choose this line

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Slow but manageable

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

MDR and buffet are cafeteria quality in terms of meat and general appearance. Staff is short handed and poorly trained bringing food to wrong tables and guests. No smoked salmon or seafood in buffets or even pizza. In MDR breakfast has 1/2 mini bagel and smoked salmon. KC Cagney still good. Cucina served overcooked tough filet

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Performance shows cut back to two per week and limited live lounge acts. Deal or no deal is not a theater evening equivalent.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Understaffed but they try hard. American diner was only only one day for lunch

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

One pool for 4000 passengers is certainly not enough for sea days
