Review summary

We love NCL and they are our favorite cruise line. However, I can understand where some people feel as if they are not getting their money's worth or they feel as if they are being nickle and dime'd while on the cruise - but if you decide to cruise on NCL, don't feel that you need to do anything or everything if you don't want to partake in things that cost you money. Enjoy your time on the ship. Have fun and enjoy your vacation! Check us out at www.VacationAnticipation.com for great cruise trips, cruise bookings and other related vacation ideas.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The specialty restaurants (Cagney's, Moderno & Teppanyaki) were wonderful. You will not leave hungry and the scale will prove it! The main dining rooms were great as well, but some did suffer from some time delays in ordering and/or receiving the meal in a reasonable time.

We had amazing service from our room steward, Jessie Marcellino, along with Apple from Guest Services, and the Vibe Bartenders (Charlito, James and Mary Jane)!

Ship tip

Enjoy your vacation and don't sweat the small stuff. The staff on NCL goes above and beyond to make your vacation and cruise spectacular. There may be instances where things don't meet your approval, but look at the glass as Half-Full, rather than Half-Empty and just go with the flow.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
This process was a bit chaotic as the lines were very long and it took about 45-minutes to get off the ship and through customs.
