Review summary

This is my third cruise with NCL and I am totally addicted to this cruise line. From embarkation to dining, to the ambience, to friendly customer service, to the cleanliness, to disembarkation, I am sold every time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was a breeze. I got there my arrival time and we were processed in good time and waited until 11am before we started boarding. Everything went smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I ate at the buffet, all complimentary dining and four of the specialty restaurants. No matter where I dined, food was delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I spent a good amount of my time in the thermal suite and pool area. I had such a relaxing time and have life just pass me by.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I heard only raving reviews of the late night entertainment. But unfortunately I fall asleep by my usual 10pm like clock work lol

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Let me tell you, this is my third cruise with ncl and second time on the very ship, and the staff is very customer friendly and really professional. Everyone was so sweet to me and always made me feel special. I so love cruising with ncl.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Omg, these people clean all the time, like allll the time. They can be seen wiping down the place so much of the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had a standard balcony cabin and it was absolutely comfortable and kept clean everyday. So much space and the decor is lovely.

Ship tip

Definitely make all your reservations before getting on the ship.
