Review summary
The reason we chose NCL was first for the ports of call and second for the timing of the cruise. May was a great time to go the weather was superb!
The ship itself was very nice, the bed was comfortable.
The ports of call were great. Enjoyed all of them. Unfortunately at the very last minute NCL informed us that the Palma times were shortened and changed. That would have been a nice port to spend a longer time in.
The staff was adequate for the most part. They did not go out of their way to be helpful. Our room steward was OK, cleaned very late at night. He did not attend to the balcony area at all or take away any dirty glasses or dishes.
The Burning up the Floor dancers were fantastic! They were so good we went to watch a second time. The cruise ship should promote them more. We did the Legends, and the were OK but nothing fabulous. We had booked the Supreme dream but again were notified on ship that they had canceled that show and were booked into another show.
We have cruised on Holland America and Princess. The level of service was higher on both of those lines.
