Review summary

We had a Great time. All shows were great. Food in regular restaurants weren't as good and staff wasn't as friendly, food was luke warm. Specialty restaurants were great and staff was nicer. Not crazy about this ships layout but, still enjoyed ourselves. Didn't seem to have alot to offer on Seadays.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
They had us waiting in the hot sun, standing in long lines, they tried to get us to start over in the line because, people were confused with the lines and staff wasn't very helpful. We had handicapped with us and waiting in the sun was horrible. Never had this happen on other cruise lines.

Buffets were good. Regular dining restaurants were not good. Food never seemed fresh enough or hot enough. Staff didn't seem very friendly. All the fine dining rooms were excellent, loved those.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Didn't care much for the layout of the casino area, to chopped up for us. Big rooms. Seemed clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great room. Very clean. Comfy. Lots of storage space. Not crazy about no privacy if you're in tub or toilet area if someone comes knocking on your door.

Thanks for sharing, we sail on Epic, Feb 2nd. We are Planning Latitudes but becoming more and more dissatisfied with NCL. Our last cruise was on the Escape and I'd give that ship/crew a 'D'.
