Review summary

Just got back from our first cruise with NCL. Have cruised twice before with Royal Caribbean (allure and oasis of the seas). First time taking our kids with us (ages 7 & 9). Our kids were never bored. They loved the ropes course and water slides. Food was good, but I felt RC had more options to choose from, even at the buffet. We ate at Margaritaville (costs extra) and the nachos were totally worth it! Also had the ultimate beverage package which was also a big savings. Since our kids are younger, they didn't require us to purchase the bev package for them. We were able to order smoothies and soft drinks for them on our package, which was nice. With the bev package, they let you order two drinks at a time. There was 8 people total in our group so if we needed more than 2 drinks, you just had to give them 2 cards with the bev package on them. One complaint I had was our stateroom was very noisy. We were on the 15th deck (aft balcony) and we would hear a lot of clattering and banging noises above us, even at night. The garden cafe (buffet) was above us so maybe it was their nighttime staff preparing for the next day. Overall, it was a great trip! Would definitely cruise with NCL again. Much cheaper than RC and more kid friendly. Could use a couple more pools as they were very crowded during the day. Lounge chairs were also hard to come by on sea days. Ports were great. Staff was good, although we did encounter a couple grouchy bartenders during the week. Weather was great and seas were pretty smooth. 😎
