Review summary

No regrets! I'd go again on the same ship with the same itinary!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
NCL check had long lines but they moved along.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food quality and service was very good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
While shows were booked up according to their app, when you went to check if there was availability, there was no trouble getting in the last minute for any of the shows. Activities were fun. Surprisingly, during a school holiday week, water rides had only short waits.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Usual good shows and entertainment.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Grandchildren couldn't wait to go to "kid's club." They LOVED it!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All were attentive, polite, cheery and addressed our needs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They washed the walls in the halls! Everything was very clean. They were diligent about "washy, washy" to prevent illness.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Rated it good because the bed was set up against the closet making it tight to get items out. Our daughter's cabin was set up differently, same size, but the set up made it easier.

Ship tip

Get a mid-ship room like we did so you don't have to walk from one end of the ship to the other.

Ports of call

New York, New York Did not visit port

We live in NYC

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Plenty of options for activities with a long enough time in port to enjoy them.

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

Captain determined that waves were too strong for tenders, so we stayed on board. The weather was lovely so we really enjoyed it anyway.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Lots of excellent options for excursions. We really enjoyed the beach.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Lines to disembark, but went quickly.
