It was great to get away but the ship has so many smoking areas that it's hard to sit and enjoy some things without someone smoking or smelling smoke.

Review summary

The cruise was nice and we had great weather - rained one morning at the Dockyards but then cleared. Although this was not my bet NCL cruise - I would still travel again with them - I enjoy their laid back easy comfort and walk away relaxed

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was fast and easy - best yet

Ship experiences

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

was pretty awesome but one of the acts fell and got hurt and really did not get a lot of info on how she was doing and many were concerned

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Most of the staff were excellent - we just found the staff in the Aqua dining room not as friendly as the Venetian - food was good but not great

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship usually is very clean but people just left dishes and glasses everywhere They were a bunch of slobs on this cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was always clean and picked up and our steward Sherwin was awesome.

Ship tip

NCL lines are usally good and this was just not the week to go with all the kids - parents let older kids just run around and they have no idea how to say excuse me or sorry.
