Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
I honestly don't ever complain but this was really really bad. The food was horrible, the place was dirty and staff were annoyed at everyone.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
there was literally nothing to do. Some days they had some activities but it cost you a lot. Nothing was planned. We were all just stuck on the boat.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
there wasn't any at all. It seemed like the cruise was a last minute thought and nothing was planned.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
our housekeeping staff for our room was great but everyone else was just non existant

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
really really bad. The ship was bigger but the actual places you could walk was shorter. We were all crammed in like sardines.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
it was ok. the curtains smelled like smokers had just left there. All our clothes ended up smelling:(

Having read other reviews, this one seems nearest to our view of the trip... Those giving this trip a glowing report either haven’t cruised that much (or have just made it up)... We had a good time but that was despite NCL, not because of them... Our friends made the trip for us...
