Review summary

This was a wonderful cruise, we had been to all the places before, we just wanted to get back on a cruise ship without a mask,

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We arrived on 10/02/2021 it took 15 minutes for Covid test, it was easy and quick to have it done at the port, then we checked in it was our first time on NCL, so we booked into the Haven, the lounge was wonderful where we waited to get escorted on to the ship.

We had most of our meals in the Haven restaurant, we had so many great meals, a lot of times, we could not even eat deserts, and at breakfast we shared a meal. We went to Cagney’s steakhouse best steak ever and so much food,we also went to Teppanyaki so good could not finish but so good.

Some fine tuning needed

Wonderful, wonderful memories!

Great ship in layout and activities. One issue I had is all the hidden fees and activation fees. They sell these great packages with all these free features but what they don’t tell you is the hidden activation fee to use the app, to gamble at the casino
