Review summary
Overall the experience was great although I think the service standard was below par especially when dining. After the first 3 days we figured out the only place to eat half-way decent (included/complimentary) food was in the ship buffet. None of the included restaurants had food better then a McDonalds or Long John Silvers. We did ultimately pay for the "Fine Dining" and would recommend them to anyone on this ship. To top it off the service was so bad in the free restaurants that we wouldn't see a waiter or entire meals would be forgotten from our table. Other travelers confirmed the same experience.

I sprung for a fancy French restaurant on one of the NCL's ships and it was terrific! It was almost French! Throw a French-sounding sauce on a steak and voila! French! Le Bistro has a handsome man in a fancy uniform going around greeting people and telling amusing stories. I don't think he's the Captain, because if he IS, who the hell is up there on the bridge driving the boat?
