Burn the Floor was good- BUT not a fan of Priscella. Not a fan of making reservations prior on going on cruise for shows. Disappointed that there was not one comedy show on board (I take that back- there was one but in Spanish)

Cabin layout so AWKWARD! Strange shower separate across hall from bathroom. Guess that's why no other NCL ships have this configuration. Cabin Steward was really good!

Ship tip

beware of cabin layout and need to make reservations in advance for shows!

Stayed 2 nights prior- not a fan of food and watch out on getting pickpocketed. Didn't feel that safe especially at the airport - (family member bag was stolen)
