It's your basic cruise ship with excellent entertainment. They charge you for almost everything. The specialty dining rooms are a must if you appreciate good food. The ship tends to shimmy and rock more than most of the other ships we have been on. NCL has cut back on a lot of things the last two years, including axing the farewell lobster dinner. Beware of the cost of the "FREE" packages received when booking.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining rooms food quality has gone down since our previous cruise two years ago. Specialty restaurants : Cagney. Onda, Le Bistro were excellent. Ocean Blue , fair. Buffets were fair.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
You must pay for most of the onboard activities such as laser tag, go carts and virtual reality rides.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
18+ comedian shows were excellent as were both complimentary Broadway Shows: Choir of Man and Kinky Boots. Prohibition, another show however not free, was fair at best and I would not advise going and paing the premium for it if you have the beverage package, Waste of money since they serve you 5 different alcoholic beverages. One every 10 minutes. There was your typical Bingo and Deal or No Deal which was a total rip off.
Children's Programs
We don't have children
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Service was good not great. If there is a problem you need to keep escalating the problem until you reach management, 3-4 people.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It's your typical cruise ship in design, just new and clean
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Room was cramped but plenty of storage. Bathroom was nice with a large shower with good shower head and jets. The ship tended to shimmy a lot
Great port if you need Jewelry of a table cloth. Definitely see the 2nd oldest synagogue. Our parasailing excursion was cancelled without notice due to winds.
