We never intended to get hooked on cruising, but this was the first of many future cruises. The staff on this ship were awesome (at the time), we had no issues with anything and truly got hooked on cruising and NCL. We've done two Princess Cruises since but still favour NCL as our go to cruise line
Embarkation
5 out of 5
This was all new to us but we traveled with friends. We had nothing to compare to, so at the time, I'd rate this a 5 outta 5
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We don't drink but thoroughly enjoyed the food. The buffet had all sorts of ethnic selection; something to please everyone
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We took in a few shows, enjoyed dancing on the deck as the DJ spun tunes. Good times
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our first experience with "washy-washy, happy-happy". All the staff were super friendly, smiles all around
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
A little dated, we didn't enjoy walking through the smoke filled casino but learned quickly to go up/down a deck to avoid it.
To date, this ship had the best balcony
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We enjoyed the set up of the cabin, separate shower from the sink/toilet. Hard shower door instead of a flimsy curtain was appreciated
Ship tip
Look high and low, there's many tucked away locations that few cruises seem to find (for deck space/lounging and relaxing.)
I cruised on the Epic years ago and I did have a good time, but I as far as cabin layout, that was the only negative. I was traveling solo, so was no big deal, but if had 1, 2, or 3 others in cabin, it could become awkward for people entering or leaving cabin with a shaded view of person showering.
