Overall great cruise. Pity we couldn’t get off at Great Stirrup that needs to improve because it was 25% of the cruise. Food and bars were great. Mandy was super (I think they have a couple of clones of her because she is “up and about” in the early morning and in the late evening). Disembarkation was bad, it was hard to get off the ship and took forever.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Arrived at 12:15 and some lines but good shade and quick moving up into building and checked in within 1 hour
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Very good food and drinks in all bars, restaurants and buffers. Sometimes drinks at pool/deck a bit messy and not as good as the inside bars.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
No “healthy” activities (fitness) in the morning advertised (or I missed it). More activities on dancing and creativity but I guess that’s “entertainment”.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Caribbean night was nice! I liked the other shows like Beatles & Priscilla and usually there was plenty of room in theatre as well
Children's Programs
No children
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Great staff except during deembarkation (almost no staff to be found during that mess although the poor ones who were there did their best, unsuccessfully)
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Sometimes a bit dark and not many windows but that made it cozy as well.
Casino is very noisy and smells of smoke which is really bad because you have to go through it often when moving from place to place.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Very comfy bed. Very silent (can’t hear any noise from neighbors) except for (your own) toilet when flushing.
Ship tip
Try the chicken wings at O’shannans, especially the Thai chili
Because of “high seas”. This happens a lot and is really bad for NCL. They should build a better port of shield the anchor site better or no one will book this cruise with this option.
Very bad. Did self disembarkation but lines were extreme long and took hours to get off. No staff to explain and they even called new people to start while gangways were completely blocked. They need to improve system because as soon as we were off the ship it went very smoothly
