Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Did not eat at any of the main dining rooms since I mainly ate the specialty restaurants where the food was excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the Spa Lounge everyday and even had a massage.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the stage shows were excellent. A must see is the Cirque Dreams show and make sure to have the diner which consists of Filet Minion and lobster tail.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Found crew not as friendly as experienced on other NCL ships.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Though the ship was larger that past cruise the way it was designed made it hard to get from one end of the ship to another.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Stayed in a studio room, which is a bit smaller than a two bedroom inside cabin, but the studio lounge makes up for it since it contained its own bartender during certain hours, along with its own event planner.

Ship tip

See the Cirque Dreams show and the Headliner comedy shows.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
No excursion but the port is beautiful.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Took the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus which allowed me to see the port city quickly.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Took the tower of Pisa excursion, which was nice.

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Absolutely beautiful and make sure to take the Monte Carlo and Monaco excursion.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
Beautiful port especially along the water. The Hop-On-Hop-Off bus is very popular at this port so try to get out of the ship ASAP, otherwise there will be a long wait to get on the bus at the port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Was on line early and was off the ship within minutes.
