Review summary

NCL has performed the seemingly impossible. They have provided a great cruise with above average dining for the average cruiser, great ports of call and phenomenal entertainment, all at a very appealing value price point. One bit of advice: NCL should consider different seating in the headliners bar and club. The hard, straight-backed chairs can get very uncomfortable after 15 or 20 minutes. A minor thing but worth mentioning.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

24th cruise. This was the smoothest embarkation process ever.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The facilities were great. However, I am a vegetarian for medical reasons and found an extremely limited selection of dining opportunities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

As always, NCL has the best entertainment of any cruise line. The entertainment during this cruise was perhaps the best we have experienced and was truly "Broadway Quality".

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was spotless and I was surprised to discover that it is scheduled for refurbishment. A great ship. A large vessel which offered the personal approach of a much smaller vessel.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We were traveling at a bargain price so we adjusted our expectations accordingly. Still, the beds could be softer. Otherwise, the room was clean, comfortable and of acceptable size. The bathroom was surprisingly large for a lower deck stateroom. Overall, very good.
