Review summary

The ship was overcrowded and the food was bad, really bad. It was a feeding station for gladiators: carbs and fat. Oh, they had close to a hundred varieties of chicken. The cruise itself? The captain should loose his license. We missed Punta del Gado suposley due to the bad weather. "It's not my fault" insisted the captain but next stop - Brest - he forgot about about the low tides. So, it took almost three hours to disembark on a thin (emergency) bridge. Same with embarkation: people in wheel chairs being pushed by four or even six crew members up the the bridge. Not captains fault? Southampton... over two hours to disembark. This time is it the fault of the customs or captain's miscommunication? Missed another port Bruge... Why? Only God knows. VERY old movies and shows onTV in your stateroom, the paid internet malfunctions and you just loose your money.  In short, forget NCL and pick some other line.
