Review summary

The Good: Stateroom Attendant - Excellent! One show - Burn the Floor - Excellent.

The Fair: Savor Restaurant, food good but deserts lacking everywhere on ship.

Bad: Daily announcements and advertising! Volume so loud it hurt our ears. interrupted shows and activities, the crew would stop what they were doing so we could all hear (blasted) the sales pitch and announcements that were in our daily ship paper. At the Tropicana Restaurant the music was so loud it ruined our dinner! Island stop - Nassau, waste of time to walk thru dirty city! We attempted early walk off to catch our airport shuttle. We were forced to stand in line for 30 minutes and look out the open door with gang plank and everything ready for us to leave. We asked why we couldn't leave and were never given an answer. We almost missed our shuttle! I had to run to it shouting and bang on side of bus! We will not sail NCL again. Our experience on Princess was much better!

Attendant very good. Also very creative in folding towels. Looked forward to what we would see everyday.

Ship tip

Dine early for good seating. Do not go to Tropicana unless you are deaf or would like to be deaf! The ship has "Early Easy Walk Off" for departure if you have an early flight home. We arrived at exit door before 8 am and had to stand in line for 30 minutes and look thru open door to gang plank!
