Terrible cruise! I'll NEVER go with NCL again. There are so many choices, NCL just doesn't impress me and I was very disappointed and embarrassed.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
We were lucky to get there by 9 am and be on the boat by 10 am but there were a lot of people who weren't. Unfortunately, we had to sit around and wait until about 3 pm until the cabins were ready, with nothing to do and very limited opportunities for food or drink. We were supposed to leave by 4 pm but didn't pull away until 6 pm. Overall, it was all poor planning by the cruise line.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Food was terrible in the buffet.
Steaks were dry, eggs were runny, pancakes were grainy and fell apart...it was just a very poor culinary experience.
Liquors we requested, which were on the menu, were never available.
This cruise was terrible.
Onboard Activities

What activities? 🤣🤣
The only activities that were scheduled were things that were meant to take your money.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Terrible, Terrible, Terrible!!! I've seen better productions at high schools.
Children's Programs
1 out of 5
There weren't any and there literally wasn't anything for kids to do. The only thing that was open was the arcade.
Due to this, there were kids running around everywhere and parents too disengaged to reprimand them.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Our room attendant was probably the only upside to this cruise. He was very attentive.
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Ship was very small compared to others on the seas. Because of this, one could easily feel the boat rocking from side to side.
Ship needed to be cleaned and updated. Seats in the theater were broken, many lights were out, windows looked like they never got cleaned ... I could go on and on.
Thanks for the review. We sail NCL and never had any issues. Maybe you would be better sailing on larger cruise line ships with more venues and people onboard.
