I was on the "drink package" but drinks seemed to be priced much higher than other cruise lines. There were no "enrichment seminars" and lack of quiet space (library always filled and close quarters) to read. Atrium too noisy most of the time... specialty restaurants and service were a 10.

Upgrade to the dining option for quieter, more focused meals that are higher quality and add variety. Spa access is mandatory if you hope to have any peace while relaxing somewhere. People will bring plates of food out to sun chairs and leave them everywhere, or glasses on floor at top of stairs.

I must comment on the pool area. I was very happy to see that children were told to use their pool only. Often times, during my week on cruise, children were in adult pool. Hoorah..........There also seemed to be enough chairs on decks during sea days. That is a plus!

The shows were excellent. The ship didn't look very appealing like other cruises that we have been in. The food choices were limited especially being a indian vegetarian. We felt like we ate same food over and over again. The ports were ok. Not much to do. Felt like we paid too much money for this

Different bars are stocked differently. For example the atrium bar does not have Beefeater gin but the spinnaker does. If you have preferred labels, check the different bars.

Clean restrooms more often. Some difficulty understanding some staff members. More daytime entertainment or actual onboard activities for "at sea" days. Less pay restaurants & more included restaurants.

Bring your own water or water bottles!!! The water package is very expensive! You may refill your bottles at the buffet area. Don't get the wifi package. I heard from people on board that it was not worth it, the connection was on and off. so basically it sucked. DONT DO THE SHORE EXCURSIONS!!!!

Nice size ship for cruises who want to explore the stops. Not to much going on so may get bored very quick if you are looking for fun on a ship.

Food was okay not very good but okay, I would not recommend this ship , stick with celebrity, Disney, even Carnival, Royal Caribbean, if your looking for good service and good food, and most of all you can Tip your waiter ,steward and Bus Boy, keep it personal.

Loudspeakers on sunbathing deck FAR too loud, NCL is cutting back in too many areas - a little here, a little there, makes for feelings of CHEAP, CHEAP, which people shouldn't feel after shelling out so much hard earned $ for a cruise. We will look for another line for next cruise.

Dining rooms were very nice and wait staff was great but menus could not compare to the three other cruise lines I have been on. I know this is "free style" cruising, but the dress code in the dining rooms should have been upheld. The buffet is the place for underdressing and is perfectly fine.

Not a party ship by any means! If you plan to actually stay up past 11 pm unless you make arraignments with other guests, dont expect the lounges and bars to be open! Entertainment on pool deck is sparse to say the least, and if it rains, do not expect it to me moved somewhere else or rescheduled.
