Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Excellent! This is our second cruise with NCL- the first time we were on the Getaway. We did the Specialty dinners and loved La Cucina, Cagneys and Teppanakyi. We enjoyed sitting outside at La Cucina. We had terrific service at Cagneys and Teppanakyi was fun although it is a lot of food. My husband and son enjoyed breakfast at the Garden Café. We did the drink package as well.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Our son spent most of his days at the waterslides and we enioyed our days at sea but agree with other reviews that if you aren't up on deck by 8am it's tough to find chairs. My boys did the Ropes course and we played mini golf and pingpong. My son squeezed in a few trips to the Arcade.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We attended a few of the game shows but this is the one area we struggle a bit with NCL - traveling with a 12 year old who prefers not to go to the kids club. Wish there were a few more show options. We did the Escape the Big Top which was fun although think we could have used more time and some better explanations.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Excellent except for last night our service and meal at Taste wasn't the best but we had such a great week overall that we didn't worry. We had a mini suite on Deck 11 and our room steward Joelix was fantastic. Very personable and always made a big effort with our son. Our room was very clean and comfortable.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Like all cruise ships wish pool area could always be bigger but we were very happy.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very comfortable and we loved the larger bathroom that comes with the Mini Suite. Our room steward Joelix was terrific. Room was quiet and very clean. Only thing I wish for was a stool or foot rest in shower for when I shave my legs. Certainly a minor thing but that would be something I would love.
Ship tip
Relax and enjoy and just go with the flow. We love the casual dining although at specialty restaurants my husband wore long pants but the rest of the trip was NICE looking khaki shorts with polos/camp shirts and we were appropriately dressed. Stafff was very friendly and personable.
Beautiful but wish there were more activities. My son enjoyed the water balloons but got stung in the water. We went' to dr on Island and it was a jelly fish sting. After that he didn't want to swim again so headed back and enjoyed the ship. The burgers on the grill were a delicious treat!
We have been here quite a bit so my son and I didn't get off of the ship. My huband went to the Rum Factory and enjoyed it. We enjoyed staying on the ship without the crowds.
