Review summary

It was obvious ship was short staffed but crew that was there worked very hard. Still don't know why we had to exit ship from opposite dock side, walk around with luggage to other side to get to off-ramp. Found out after that this week is the ship's last voyage with NCL then they're getting rid of it. Ate mostly at Buffet and their feature one night was Maronaited Flank Steak (yuk) and Boneless Turkey Roll another night. My food at home is better. But Entertainment was excellent.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

As I stated, my food at home is better but then again, I love to cook and try different recipes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I enjoyed every minute of the shows at night. The dancers did a wonderful job considering the ship was fighting the hurricane system and the ship was rocking and rolling.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff worked very hard as they were short-handed and did an excellent job.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

To their credit, I always saw somebody painting ship here and there every day. But floor finish in the buffet was either worn or dirty or both. Decor was old but since they were getting rid of ship, why redecorate.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Not enough places for 3 people to put clothes - 3 people in stateroom with no drawers. Not even in bedside tables.

Ports of call

St. George's, Bermuda

3 out of 5

St. George was nice to walk around in but since the ship got in late due to the weather and I was still seasick the day of arrival and into the next morning, I still think I covered what was there.

Don't Miss: Went to The Dockside and enjoyed that very much.
