Review summary

I think NCL has definitely gone downhill. Not sure I will cruise with them again since there are so many other better choices. I have been on about 30 cruises over the years and was most disappointed with this one.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was very inconsistent. Very disappointed in the service & food at LaCucina. Worse meal of the cruise. I highly recommend LeBistro and if you have a specialty dining package eat there for all the nights. Buffet for breakfast was always way too crowded.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Pool lounge chairs were reserved by 8am every morning we were at sea and the staff did nothing about letting people keep their stuff on chairs for hours at a time without ever using them. The ship cannot properly handle the number of people.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The Legends Live show was awesome as was the Crique show. However, the two main shows (Burn the Floor and Priscilla) were the same shows from last year so we didn't bother to attend. Also, i do not like having to make show reservations prior to cruising. Show times aren't very favorable with dining times.

Poor bathroom design.

We did the easy off. Were off the ship and on our way home at 7:30am.
