Review summary

Bartender told us we were about 1,500-1,600 passengers onboard. Plenty of room on the ship, no wait for deck chairs, elevators, dinners, and at times no one in sight in corridors. That never happens! Grateful we got to make all of our ports too!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
NCL Covid testing at pier prior to boarding was very smooth. Took less than 1/2hr. Very organized.

Ship experiences

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I’m sure they are not at full usage of entertainment options. Missed the “live” music at the pool area as it was mostly a silent DJ. Was looking forward to Choir of Man but the show was cancelled. No reason why. Comedian James Johann was pretty good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff we had contact with was so gracious and so happy to have us on board. You could tell they were smiling under their masks!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Given the 2-3 cruises before us were cancelled, there was plenty of time to clean the ship. The dining areas had crew members immediately removing dishes from tables and cleaning immediately after passengers left.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Had 3 adults in the cabin. Creative storage.

Ports of call
