Review summary

Won't sail on the NCL ever again. The newer ships are too crowded and there are not enough shore excursions or dining slots for everyone to enjoy.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
only bright spot was the ease of boarding

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room was pretty good. The buffet was OK but I have had a better experience on other NCL ships. Specialty restaurants were not worth the cost

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
nothing worth my time

Entertainment

Children's Programs

not a child

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
The only crew member that seemed to know their job was our room steward. Most of the crew seemed clueless about their roles.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
ship designer and cabin designer should be drawn and quartered for their designs

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
layout has to be the worst I have ever experienced. Clumsy and awkward are the best descriptors
