Review summary

Too many people, too loud,service was slow. The mini bus excursion was disappointing in that seats were crowded together however we took the complimentary ferry back from St George and that was great.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Took awhile for me to “convince” the crew I had priority boarding.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Cagney was a huge disappointment. I have been on 3 previous NCL and never had such a small over cooked filet. La Cucina was excellent- the filet was actually 8oz and delicious.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Hot tub on deck 17 H2O. Great on port day. Just warm not hot Art auctions were entertaining. Other activities again too crowded- even being half hour early

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The Choir boys and four boys were great. Also enjoyed the dueling pianos

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Wait staff were nice most very hard to understand and they had a hard time understanding me. Bars were usually 3 deep with not enough bar tenders to handle the crowd.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Kept clean but I did not care for the layout. Public places extremely loud.

Cabin / Stateroom

Quiet, saving grace of this cruise. Very clean.
