Review summary

Do it for the itinerary, it's awesome. Just wish we would have spent more time at each port.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Slow to get our cabin once on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The service was incredible, the variety of food on the dining options that were included were very limited.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Poor honestly, we are used to cruising on Disney and Carnival and on those ships you have 3-4 activities going on at the same time. Options are not limited, on NCL it was slim pickings. Pools on the ship were tiny and crowded.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Howl at the Moon was epic! The latin band was great but were stuck plying on the pool deck,

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Terrible, my teenage daughter went to Entourage and there were no coordinated activities, rather than free hangout time. teens need structure and encouragement to get out of their comfort zone.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Wonderful itinerary! When a cruise is port intensive, they have less activity than in the carribbean. Glad you had a good time.
