Review summary

The ship accomodates 4200 guest. It had only about 1200 guest. This made for a very comfortable experience. It was not crowded. No lines.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We travelled before all restrictions were lifted. The embarcation process took about 2 hours. From the moment we left our bags, took a shuttle to convention center, got tested, came back, did the check in, got on the ship. It was all very well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in all restaurants was excellent. It had flavor, even the ones in the Garden Cafe (buffet). Only thing we noticed was that the buffet at the Garden cafe was always the same. Its worth taking the time to taste all the different dining venues.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5
It lacked good evening entertainment. We had travelled years ago in NCL and raved about their broadway style shows. It may have been that they are not fully staffed yet. Thus there was not much variety ir excitenent in the evening.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward and dining room personnel went all out. Excellent.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship looks run down in the outside. Balconies, hull, emergency boats, need tender loving care.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabins are beautifully decorated. However, the curved design is very uncomfortable. We were only 2 in this cabin. We had triple cabins in our party with the bed first then the sofa and it was terrible. Do not recommend more than two people in these cabins. It had lots of weird storage space. Not your usual vanity with 3 or 4 drawers.
