Review summary

I'm a little disappointed that more and more things are becoming fee extra. Two of the shows on the ship were extra. The burger bar is a fee extra Margaritaville. I was also surprised that none of the 3 dining rooms were available for lunch. That was only available at the buffet or O'Sheehan's. Had to walk a long way to get something to eat in the afternoon. Nothing available at the pool area except hot dogs a couple of times.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

NCL still has consistency issues with embarkation for people who need wheelchairs to board the ship.

Service and Staff

The service and staff was excellent as usual.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It would be excellent except there was too much water on the deck around the pools and hot tubs. I saw 5 people slip and fall and I almost did as well. I had to shuffle my feet to walk. The Gem in November had someone squgeeing the water constantly.
