Review summary

Despite the subpar entertainment, it was a great cruise and we booked another before we even got off the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Garden Cafe now closes at 9:30 pm nightly. This is a change from when it used to close at 11:30/midnight. This new closing time is too early. The only other place to go for an evening snack is now O’Sheehan’s which has a very limited menu. The Garden Cafe needs to go back to its original closing time.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Entertainment was subpar this time. Repeat performances (the magician) took place instead of more/different entertainment took place. They substituted a movie (Wakanda) instead of good entertainment was used. Only two production performances (out of three) were good. The magician was good. They need to up their entertainment program.

Children's Programs

I didn’t have any children with me on this trip.

Service and Staff

They are always exceptional. We tipped our room steward well as he couldn’t do enough for us.

It was exactly as we expected. It was small but very clean and designed well.

I’d prefer that NCL skip Bar Harbor and stay in Bermuda for an extra day.
Thumbs Up

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Although they have a good disembarkation process, it was a long process. The Immigration process the day prior was a bit chaotic.
