Review summary

So this is my 3rd NCL cruise & it will be the last. NCL just wants $$$$$ from you, they nickel & dime you to no end, internet package is out of this world. They knew we would not dock in 2 ports because of rough seas & icebergs before we even left NYC, but only informed everyone the night before, no credit for port charges. The ships bands & singers are too loud.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

for the most part food in the main dining room was good as was the garden cafe. I only tried the Japanese specialty restaurant Bamboo, which was a mistake. How they can call the slop they serve Japanese is beyond me.
