Review summary

Definitely not handicap friendly! Handicap bathrooms were all on a ramp so you needed help to get in them, most of the time they were locked. The doors from outside had you put your hand on them to open, not convenient for someone in a wheelchair or scooter. Elevators we're big, which was great!

Ran aground in the Dominican Republic. NCL flew >3,000 of us home on chartered planes on Day 5 of the cruise.

Dreadful.

Ship was grounded on day 3
