Review summary

We purposely didn't go ashore, didn't need to go ashore. Most days there was enough to do, but it was always sooo busy (too many people), I'm thinking it was at capacity. It took the fun out of it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We chose priority boarding and had no trouble, with quite smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

While we enjoyed the 2 specialty restaurants ,we were disappointed in the garden cafe, mediocrity every time we were there. "Specialties" were not anything I recognized. I suggest you have more American type menus, not just for us but for the many kids aboard. All I ever saw was pizza and hamburgers, what about mac and cheese, chicken, other snacks, (salsa and chips), etc.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

By the time we boarded much of the nightly entertainment was already booked. As for the Cavern it was so packed you could hardly get in the door!

Children's Programs

no kids

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Since we have been on several NCL cruises, I was disappointed in the size, and of course the set up withe the shower, etc, was weird... but not really bad. The beds seemed lumpy, the pillows old.
