Review summary

Enjoyed NCL very much...the food and entertainment were great.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was the fastest embarkation I have ever had...very organized and swift.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The specialty restaurants were fabulous...The buffets were delicious as were the ship's main dining rooms. Very pleased!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We were with friends and didn't do any activities ... but I used the jogging track every day and was happy there was one to use.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
OMG, the shows were amazing (Burn the Floor and Priscilla Queen of the Desert)..I felt like I was seeing a show on Broadway in NYC. We also listened to some singers on the ship (D=Duo or something like that; a woman and a man playing the piano)...they were great as well.

Children's Programs

We have no children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Could not have been better. All were very eager to please and all were very courteous.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was immaculate and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was spotless and comfortable...a little tight and the lighting could have been better but we had a great time and loved everything.

Ship tip

Do a Self-Assist Disembark late (10 AM) with your luggage if you can...you literally walk off the ship and breeze thru Customs with hardly a line.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Did not do an excursion. Port was nice.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

My husband got sick the night before.

Falmouth, Jamaica Did not visit port

Ship did not go to Falmoouth; went to Nassau instead, which was great.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Ship did not go to George Town...the itinerary was changed.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Ship did not go to Cozumel..the itinerary was changed.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
A breeze. We took our own luggage off the ship and literally had no lines at Customs.
