Review summary

The facilities and general cleanliness of the ship.

The attentiveness and courtousy of the staff.

The quality of the food.

The quality of the entertainment.

 

The cost of drinks is high as is the cost of their drinks-packages.

Unless they are revised, it is unlikely that we will use NCL cruises in the future. A pity, as the overall quality is good.

Ship tip

The itinerary was very good - particularly as our son had not visited any of them before. They were all safe areas so first-timers need have no fear of trying to arrange their own excursions from the ports as it saves a lot of money. Teaming up with other passengers makes the cost even lower.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain Did not visit port

Had little opportunity to see much other than the airport and the cruise port.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Didn't go into the city. Took a taxi out to Pompei.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
A long way out of Rome but teamed up with another family to hire a minibus. The driver took us to all the usual sites and waited for us at each one.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Again a long way to either place of interest but a similar deal to the on we had in Rome meant we had a good day.

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Great beach and cafes for people watching. Some very chic shops. The little tour bus is worth a look.

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
Our first time in Marseilles and in the midst of the Europesn Championships. No great hassle - just a lot of people. Again the tour bus is worth a look.
