Review summary

This was one of our bucket list cruises. The cruise did not disappoint! 18 cruises on NCL obvious that entertainment and dining budgets have been reduced. Severely worried we may have to start looking for new line if this continues as I can get similar quality at budget lines for less, NCL needs to step up!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Super easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good but sadly "cost savings" are evident.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Production cast was fantastic. Only guest performer was a mediocre comedian who was in the main theater 3 nights. No other theater shows, no magicians, no high acts, nada. Deal or no deal is a game show presented, but come on NCL, worst entertainment in 18 cruises with them.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service was amazing, actually had our best ever dinner service (in any venue) in the MDR!

Ship Quality
