Review summary

Over all enjoyed the ship and the cruise. Need better dance venues. The bands we like always seem to be in the atrium when there are dance venues not being used.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Extremely long and slow lines. They seemed totally unprepared for the crowd.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in all the venues was exceptional. So many complimentary venues and great specialty restaurants. Loved O'Sheehans

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We love to dance and like other ships the venues with large dance floors are never used for dancing..lots of art auctions. Really?

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were exceptional. Comedians ok but the same routine show after show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Waiters were very good in all food venues. Our room steward was good but didn't see him too often

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Room was nice size. Bathroom design a little unusual for us but basically ok. Shower was a really nice size. Bathroom was too narrow. Kept bumping my elbow on the wall and door and I'm not a big girl. Lighting was terrible. Commode was lit up like Times Square and the light over the sink was no brighter than a night light. Very hard to see to apply makeup.

Ship tip

This was our first time on NCL and we enjoyed it very much. Be prepared for embarking and disembarking mayhem. We walked our luggage off and there were very few announcements about what was going on. And as always there were people cutting in line. Everyone has an excuse.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Liked this port very much. A little different than most. Don't usually get off because we've been to most of these ports so many times. Our first time here though.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Just got off to walk around a little.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Same here.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We walked our own luggage off. There was no supervision and few announcements. Terrible. Unorganized.
