Part of the "poor" review was because we were originally scheduled on the Encore from Miami and they cancelled 4 days ahead of time. This was the best we could do at short notice but is no where near what we had set up on the Encore. Poorly handled by NCL
Embarkation

It seemed like the first time they had tried using CVS for testing. Very unorganized with long lines. Waited 3 hours to just check in. My understanding is that they have improved since
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

MDR was very good. Buffet was okay. Ocean Blue restaurant was 4 stars. Cagney's 4 stars. Food Republic was surprising good but waiters were constantly bringing the food to the wrong table.

Really enjoyed the slides and the Ropes Course
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Choir of Men was OUTSTANDING. After Midnight as a show was okay but the performers were very good and you could tell they put a lot of practice in. Howl at the Moon was meh.
