Review summary

Large ship with odd layout and cabin setup. Amazing itinerary!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

NCL staff is clueless about testing f requirements for embarkation in Spain. They had you register for an at like test during checkin. But then you didn’t have to complete one and was told various testing requirements by NCL staff.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food on the ship was great. The 24 hour pub was amazing as a late night snack. The great outdoor buffet was awesome for some pool side food! The tepanyaki restaurant was not worth it. Much better on other lines. Hour wait to get seated then they charged us when they were not supposed to and we missed almost a whole night for dinner. Cagney’s was great!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There was no shows while on board. Howl at blithe moon only occurred one night. No broadway show as the Epic used to have.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship is very nice on the interior. Love the large casino. Downfall is there’s no central location anywhere. Outdoor areas are choppy and hard to get to.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin steward nadia was great! She did make me feel bad about a few things (soap bar in shower, trash -she put the soap on a washcloth and bags in the trash etc). The balcony I had was huge. Room 14107

Ship tip

The room service is completely worth the 9.95. The flank steak was awesome. Make sure you buy a dining package as the specialty restaurants are very pricey.
