Review summary
NCL is fast becoming a Carnival Party Boat Cruise Line ! Lots of younger people drinking excessively. Not a very safe environment for children, especially if they wonder off. Think Disney Land during spring break, and you'll understand the big crowd and long line atmosphere.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Skyy Vodka Ice Bar
Not much to it and an expensive upcharge not covered by Ultimate Drink Package
Ocean Blue on the Waterfront
Not fully covered by ultimate dinning package. Up charges apply. Not worth the money.
Cagney's Steakhouse
best stake I have had on a cruise ship
The Haven Restaurant
Nice, but the menu never changes. Some variety is needed. Boring after day 3 or 4.
