Review summary

The ship is old and it shows. The food was at best a 7 out of 10. NCL's website was vague and hard to use, with lots of misinformation. The staff was excellent even with some minor language barriers. The performers were among the best I have ever cruised with. The deals I got from you guys made this a no-brainer, but still... how does a cruise ship that has everyone vaxed and boosted, and tested the day before we sailed, end up with more than 200 positive cases?

Considering that there were 1100 crew and 900 passengers, they didn't have to bust it. Whole crew without exception were top notch..
