Review summary

We had a great time and are already looking forward to our next cruise. We cruised Carnival for our honeymoon 23 years ago, things have come a long way since then. Also, we loved the "Freestyle Cruising" that NCL offers. Eat when you please, dress up if you want to (or don't)...you're on vacation, this is the way things should be.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were given VIP treatment having booked a family stateroom. We were escorted to a private wait area with some refreshments and in less that 10 minutes or so were escorted on board. We were able to drop off our hand held luggage in our stateroom and roam the ship, have lunch, while waiting for our stateroom to be ready (it was ready at 1:30PM).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was fantastic. For specialty dining we ate at Cagney's Steakhouse, Los Lobos, and the Brazillian Steakhouse (can't recall name). They were all superb, as were all of our meals in the complimentary dining areas (The Garden, O'Sheehan's, etc).

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The fitness center was great, new equipment in a nice facility. Beautiful pool and hot tubs.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the shows were great, as were the super talented musicians that entertained us all week.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch in every aspect.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The crew was meticulous in keeping the ships common areas clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We could not have been happier with our accommodations. More than enough room for all of us.

Ship tip

Have a great time.

Ports of call

Boston, Massachusetts Did not visit port

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Such a beautiful island. The beaches on the South shore are the nicest I have ever seen. The locals are friendly and very approachable, glad to help steer you in the right direction.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had priority disembarkation (a perk afforded to Stateroom, Penthouse and Villa occupants). We were able to leave the ship around an hour before others.
