Review summary

Cruise, as a whole, was great, as always, but I feel that small cuts have affected it. Even the comp latitudes dinner is no longer a full meal. Appetizer, soup/salad, entree, and dessert has become Appetizer OR soup/salad, entree, dessert. Seems minor, but it makes you feel just a little less special. Petty cuts for the people who have spent so much money to cruise with NCL.

Food and Dining

Food and service very good. Changes made that cut costs, but diminished the quality.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Only went to the spa. Very good, but too much hard sell again.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Great talent, but could use one more show for a 10 night cruise. Really only 2 big shows that are NCL’s forte.
