Review summary

Enjoyed experience. Overall very positive. Did wish there were more daily events like trivia rather than jewelry ,watch,events. Felt a little pressured to participate in pre buying next cruises.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
NCL went above and beyond to accommodate our party. We had 2 w/c need people and they insured each one picked up, brought through customs, then brought directly to room. Although one downside is there is no onboard picture location and we missed picture. Entrance is different from able bodied passengers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were phenomenal. Even buffets well managed and only criticism would be that each meal was repetitive. Food was good variety good as well

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Everyone in my party looking forward to "white night" it occurred too late on second to last night at 11 pm. Casino too smoky. No specific designated smoking areas enforced. People were smoking everywhere. Not enjoyable.

Entertainment

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Trying to organize w/c disembarkation very disorganized, once you get to designated area staff were great. Once in customs area we were brought to wrong line, waited close to 1 hour to get through and spoke to 3 different people and got 3 different stories as to why wait is occurring.
