Review summary

We have cruised on other cruise lines in the past and we were expecting NCL to be better than the other lines we have traveled with. This was not the case. NCL was average at best. We probably won't cruise with NCL in the future. We seemed like a number and was treated as such.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

We were not picked up at our hotel and taken to port.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was less than average. Staff was extremely slow and 2nd rate at best.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Since we were stuck on the ship for not one , but 2 days we were a captive passenger at the will of the ships activities and costs for those activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

One show was way to risque and we wished we would have skipped it, but the other show was really good.

Children's Programs

Our 17 year old daughter did not want to partake in any of the teen programs.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The room steward was pretty good. The rest of the staff was not happy that we did not dock in Mallorca for their break and spent the day looking for the woman who jumped overboard.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our daughter said the couch bed made her back hurt. Shower light was out when we first arrived. Could have been vacuumed more.
