Review summary

So glad I gave NCL another chance. Was definitely in my top 5 cruises out of over 100

Lines moved so fast and still provided a great experience

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
So I was originally not looking forward to the food because the last experience on NCL the food was horrible, but I will say this time was a complete 180, loved almost everything we got

Moderno Churrascaria

5 out of 5

The food was great and plenty of options. Don’t fall for the salad bar trick. They offer a 32 piece salad bar. DON’t fill up. You will miss the best part, the grilled pineapple

Food Republic

4 out of 5

While this is a Al La carte option, the food was amazingly tasty.

O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill

This was a nightly “Go To” EVERYNIGHT. The Ruben sandwiches were soooo yummy

Onboard Activities

While I wish they offered a few more options in entertainment during the day, the shows were fantastic and staff was AMAZING

Sun Deck

5 out of 5

Quiet adult only by day…….Party scene with the best bartenders at night. The water feature is cool, like being in a cave with water coming down around you

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room for three adults in spacious ocean view. I loved there was a curtain to decide the room. Gave us privacy, as well as our 19 year old son. Bathroom was nice and shower had enough room you could fit two ppl in it with no issue

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
I love DR. Plenty of things just off the ship. Lots of stores, a few bars, coffee and ice cream shops, lazy River and pool area

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Everything you need is all right there. Foods included, drink package works on land, Barcardi bar is energetic, zip lining, mini golf, water sports(must be booked early)

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
I love the views in St Thomas, take the sky lift to top of mountain and have lunch and a few drinks. Shopping within 10 min walk from ship

Tortola, British Virgin Islands
