Review summary

This is a cruise I'd do again in a heartbeat, and just may in 2020. I met sooo many great people before AND during my cruise. Lifelong friends have been made.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Could've been better, not NCL's fault. Ship had to clear customs inspection. I hear it happens often in N.Y.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dinning room, the Manhattan room was phenomenal. Food was delish, service a tad slow, but it was a full dinning room.

O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill

4 out of 5

Love this venue...get the wings!!! However, order your next 2 drinks while you still have 1 drink left...bar service is tad bit slow.

5 O'Clock Somewhere Bar

5 out of 5

Outside bar here was 2nd best behind Spice H2O, still a 5 ☆ venue. Service was excellent, and they had great senses of humor.

Atrium Bar

3 out of 5

Packed, especially during Atrium activities.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool was decent, a little small. Atrium activities were always fun, even to just watch.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I have no complaints about any staff members on this ship. Everyone was courteous, and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Was used to the design layout since I've been on other same class NCL ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Studio cabin was perfect size for 1 person. Probably could fit 2 in there if you like being cozy. Could use a bit more storage space for clothes. Closets were nice, but some drawers would be nice too. NEED a mini-bar in them though.

Ship tip

TIP: Enjoy yourself, last day onboard pack throughout the day, NOT all at one shot. Get up early on disembarkation day, get off ship early.
