Review summary

We were so exasperated from the arduous flight - going and especially returning - that it put a pall on the overall experience. Food and on board crew were great but the going and coming back ruined the trip. Much unlike our other NCL experiences.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Flight connections were poorly planed. What a fiasco! Getting Covid test was a senseless, ill-conceived, confusing (for your passengers and the company operating it) exercise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
These were keeping with the other NCL experiences I've had.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not a lot of choices for seniors.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Magician was OK but not as exciting as past entertainers. Howl At the Moon was crude and in very bad taste.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Excellent. NCL picked and trained a great crew.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
It seemed the room size was smaller than my past experiences.

Ship tip

Wait until the Covid restrictions are lifted. Get ready to face complicated forms & restrictions from the US Government and confusing information from NCL.

Thanks for the review. It’s always best to book your own flights since the cruise line will use the cheapest option, which usually are not the most efficient.

Sun showers were too numerous to count which ruined the cruise.
Much-needed December escape
