Review summary

It was truly amazing. An experience everyone should have at least once. I can't say enough about my dining experience at The Manhattan Room with our server SETIAMI & her Supervisor PLACIDO...the highlight of our week. Never a dull moment because of the amazing entertainment, wonderful shows & the best crew ever!!! Everyone should be commended for professionalism. We had the best time!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were amazing. We especially loved the show After Midnight. It was so amazing that we went to see it twice. Very entertaining & the cast is very talented. The Company Men were also great & talented. We enjoyed the magic show, the comedy show, the Sax player from Romance, Wine & Sax was awesome as was the band who did back up. The Brat Pack were also very talented but we didn't care for the bad language.

Children's Programs

We had no children on the ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My favorite experience was in The Manhattan Room where our server SETIAMI made sure we had the best time & it was perfect. She paid attention to every detail with her bubbly personality. She loves her job and it shows. We enjoyed her so much that we requested to be in her section the next several evenings. She went above & beyond any of our expectations making our evening meals the highlight of our cruise. She is truly an asset to the NCL serving team. Also SETIAMI's Supervisor Placido was also very attentive to making sure everything went smoothly. Setiami & Placido should be commended for the effort they put into making our dining experience superb!!! Our room steward Helen was also great & very good at what she does. I loved the towel animals on our bed each night. Also to be commended are the two young ladies in the Garden Café that walk around every day with smiles on there faces & sing about the special that day...different tomorrow. I enjoyed seeing them each day but did not get names. We also spoke to Elvis Simpson who works very hard in the Garden Café clearing tables. He took time to make us laugh. The whole crew should be commended as they all do there jobs well. They are all very well trained. We also enjoyed the Cruise Director very much.

Cabin / Stateroom

We didn't spend much time in our room. We were only there to shower & sleep but found it very comfortable. Our room was very clean. Helen did a great job!!!

My favorite was the Manhattan room as well but I sat in different locations and had different servers but thought they all were very nice. I Love the live jazzy music and that it is a complementary dinning room! Well done NCL
