Review summary

Not a bad cruise, ports are far from the major cities. Disappointed in the bars not having any sports on TV. Looking for NFL or other American sports and you can't watch them. Cigar lounge is super small for the ship size. Research the ports way ahead of time.

The food was good. Nice variety.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not enough nighttime activities that are diverse. Was hoping for a comedy show, but only a piano show.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The DJs only performed 1-1.5 hrs on the main deck. Most of my past cruises, there would be music all evening on the main deck.

Love how people put useless comments on every review just to gain position status.

Nice review. Surprised about the comedians, they generally have comedians or magicians that perform several times throughout the cruise.

Agree the cigar bar is too small for the ship. As far as no American sports televised, could be because of your itinerary. Same as with no comedians. We have watched NFL, NBA and NHL games on all of our NCL cruises. Several bars and the casino have shown them. There is WAY too much soccer in between though

Wonderful itinerary. Cruiselines sometimes do not book comedians in European itineraries. The reason we were given is that Americans and Europeans have a different sense of humor. Sometimes, comedians don't go over well.
