Review summary

Worst NCL ship i have been on. I feel like they took everything good from the escape and removed it. Need spice H20 or a non-pay adult only area.

Ship Quality

Design was awful. No deck space. All consumed by extra pay activities. People fighting over deck chairs. Buffet also disorganized. Worst NCL ship.
