ncl delivers a quality experience. cruise staff and results managed very well. I have sailed on the epic and the getaway. good, clean ship with quality entertainment and food. a thirsty traveler should be prepared to take advantage of the drink programs. Honduras and Bahamas ports raggedy, and very short on local amenities. Belize and most Caribbean ports are isolated amusement parks, not connected to the mainland. Very nice value for a vacation, but consider the svc chg/gratuity in your overall pricing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
overpriced bar drinks. sodas and bottled water seriously overpriced. take advantage of the drink programs. food in the main dining room is usually quite excellent.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
consistently excellent entertainment
Children's Programs
don't cruise with your kids. this can be very annoying to other guests. the adult entertainment venues are just not appropriate for kids
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
workers usually make the cruise very enjoyable....but special requests on the last day of the cruise not recommended. staff is usually too busy for that
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
the epic and the getaway are nice size, quality ships.
Cabin / Stateroom
more tv options needed. workers have to pay more attention to the bathroom odors.
mexico is well.....mexico. there is a public park with open market area and restaurants near the port. mingle there and try to enjoy the local experience.
