Review summary

This was my second leg of my 28-day adventure and had a great time. I met so many amazing people, ate good food & just had fun & enjoyed. The weather was rough but can’t control that and we made the very best of each and every day!

Absolutely every crew member I encountered was wonderful. Always a smile & a greeting, they remembered everyone’s name & that’s what makes me keep returning to this ship

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean ship & the noted quirky design is what it is! You either like it or you don’t.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Only 1 real problem I have with the interior cabins is that they are very dark. The wood is dark & not enough lighting to see properly. Other than that, perfect space for 1 person

Ship tip

Just enjoy. Your trip is all about what you make it.

Unfortunately it was pouring rain but we still took a taxi to the mall & then had drinks at a restaurant right at the port. Had a great time

Disembarkation

First time into Port Canaveral & it was a bit of a disaster. First we arrived 12 hours early because of the weather (no big deal I’d rather be safe in port then stuck out at sea in that storm) but there was a total mess up with immigration (not NCL’s fault) so it was stop and go for disembarking. We finally got out around 11 am.
