Review summary

Excellent service, loved the reduced capacity! Wish the casino was bigger.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The pre cruise Covid test done by NCL at the port went pretty fast. Probably helped that we had one of the first checkin times available.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I was impressed much better food than I’m use to on Carnival. And the tiramisu was insane!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Liezel was the best server on the entire ship. So friendly and always there when you needed something.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

This facial recognition makes disembarkation so much easier than in the past. No fumbling with passports or customs forms.
