All in all very enjoyable. Very port intensive. I wouldn't get hung up on rooms and upgrading because you don't spend much time there except to sleep.

Onboard Activities

Comedian/magician was the highlight of the trip. Very funny and entertaining. Never got to see the Beatles because they were always in the Cavern and it's just two small a venue. Got there an hour and a half early and no seats just standing room. Last cruise on Breakaway they actually had them in the theater and it was almost full capacity. Burn the floor was enjoyable because of the talented guitar players . We love Howl at the Moon but the talent there was just ok

Staff worked very hard and was very pleasant.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
I was concerned about the separate bathroom description by previous cruisers who didn't like it but it was perfectly fine. We had an aft cabin and it was great.
Cabin / Stateroom

Had cabin 10318. Great for viewing arrivals and relaxing. There was some soot the first couple of days but after that no issues.
Ship tip
It's a dark and drab ship and may be showing it's age in design but otherwise capable of providing a positive experience.
Great island with awesome shopping. There is a 15 dollar shuttle to town but it's better to catch the 18 dollar hop on and hop off bus right outside the ship and get a tour of town for an additional 3 bucks. NCL doesn't tell you about that and charges you 35 for their hop on/off excursion.
So I was stopped from disembarkation because I had a credit. I thought they were just going to apply it to my card but no I had to wait in line for 30 minutes so I could get twenty nine dollars. This is a ridiculous policy. If I owed money they would just charge my card so why not give a credit the same way?? There was a guy who missed his excursion because he had a quarter credit. Ridiculous.
