Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All of the foods was excellent at the main dining rooms, Local Bar & Grill, Savor, and The Manhattan Room. The food at Q Texas Smokehouse was cold, fatty and was not good. I would not recommend it. Everyone in my group did not care for the food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I went to all the Park West Auctions and enjoyed each one. the auctions team created a fun and educational events. The all the activities in the Atrium as great. I had fun and laugh a lot.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The music/DJ at the club was excellent. I went dancing every night all night long :-). The White Party at the pool was fun. The Choir boys musical and the comedian was great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was really surprised just how much walking room was available. It was so comfortable and the staff kept it very clean every day. Thank you to all the staff. I'm going on NCL Vancouver cruise in March and have another studio cabin. This might just be my new way to travel for comfort, space, and price.

Yes, I took a bus/walking/beach excursion. It was good, but I did not know we had to pay for a beach sit and umbrella. I didn't like that part.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

I did not take any excursion. I stayed on the ship and enjoyed top deck lounging.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

2 out of 5
I wish we went to a regular town in the Bahamas like Nassau. I wanted to go shopping and all that was offer was junk. This island only had high level excursion and the beach. There was no historical sites or good shopping. I enjoyed the big boat ride over to the private island and the beach, but I was total disappointed with the Private Island. Please change this to a pubic island.
