Review summary

I fully enjoyed the dining that was offered. The buffet (where we spent most of our time since we have kids) was above average. On the whole it wasn't "buffet food". We dined in a few of the other restaurants as well and they were very tasty. The bars offered were also great. Have a mojioto or 3! They are fantastic! I had purchased the drinks package so I can't comment on the cost. We didn't have the soda package also but were never given a hard time on the few occasions that we ordered a coke. My kids never went to the Kids Club so I can't comment. It looked quite nice and well organized but my girls' don't like being away from Mom. Rooms were clean and well appointed. The ports of call weren't my cup of tea but the ship was amazing. We also didn't go out at night though my kids did enjoy the arcade. Mostly we ate and swam.

More spacious than you might think. They have maximized the space efficiently.

Ship tip

We spent very little money on board and what we did spend we used the room card for (attached to a credit card of your choice). In port we spent about $300 in total but we only sight see'd and street market shopped. You don't need formal clothing though we did see people dressed up.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

With the promotion NCL is offering the 1st 2 people in the room only pay the surcharge. The 3rd person is not required to purchase a drink package but they may have to pay for alcoholic beverages and sodas, etc.

3 Adults in the cabin? Yes, you must purchase it. I believe it states anyone in the room must have it.
