Review summary

Cruise was great but can't say much for the ship. Food is average at best. Why can't they get a good steakhouse at sea?

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
This ship is awful. Can't get anywhere without going through the casino on deck 6. The entire deck, almost, is casino. Rooms are designed weird. Heard this was the only ship NCL had a French ship builder do. Big mistake.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Just ok with a weird layout. Shower doors made noises all night when seas were a bit rough.

Had an issue because we were back to back cruising. Didn't get off ship until almost 2 hours after we were promised. Couldn't get a taxi to go into town, ended up staying onboard.
