Great boat, drink package was wonderful (warning doesn't include specialty coffee like royal or carnival do), ports were ok (except Nassau-avoid at all costs) and service is fantastic. NCL needs to do something about the mattresses, they are literally painful!

MAKE sure you get your reservation for the show you want to see early on embarrassing day or you will miss out.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

We were unable to tender into this port due to high winds. Rerouted to Nassau Bahamas.

One of the worst pets I have been to in alk of the cruises I have taken. Dirty, unfriendly, security line took over 40 minutes due to a particularlly high on authority security guard who practically strip searched every returning passenger. I have been to over 30 ports and this was borderline abusive. I believe the guy enjoyed particularly scaring the little kids. Definitely not worth getting off the boat.

Best disambiguation of any cruise line I've ever experienced.
