This was my first solo cruise so it was perfect that it was a ship I have been on before. The ship was new when I was on it five years ago and it was new again. I love that NCL keeps their ships so up to date. The itinerary was really perfect. I loved having two se days at the end.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
I was at the port at 1030. Boarding began at 11 and I was on the ship by 1120. I was boarding group 6 so things moved pretty quickly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Everything was really good. I ate in the main dining rooms, Margaritaville, and O'Sheehans.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Spice H20 has a different themed party each night. I love this because it is so nice to have something going on outside in the evening. The main reason I go on a cruise in the winter is to enjoy the weather. During the day it is adults only and such a nice place to enjoy the sunshine.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Everything was so good! So many things to do all of the time. This time I didn't go to the main theater so that I could enjoy some of the smaller venues. The comedians and the Foreigner tribute band were my favorites.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff is always amazing. My room attendant Jackie was so sweet and kept everything perfect in my room even though I was in and out of it all day.
The solo coordinator Francis could not have taken better care of us. He made sure everyone was having a great time.
Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
This was my first stay in a studio cabin and it was great for solo traveling. It was kept immaculate by my room attendant Jackie. I had plenty of closet and storage space and even had some space to spare. If I could think of anything that would have made it any better I would rather have a small vanity area rather than a full size bed. It is for solo travelers after all. Actually the desk area would work if it had a mirror above it ,but that is where the tv is.
Ship tip
This is a large ship with 4000 passengers so it may take a moment or two to get off the ship , onto a tender, or a drink at the bar. The most popular venues/shows fill up fast so show up 20 to 30 minutes early. Pack some patience and a smile and you will be very well taken care of on this beautiful ship!
Beautiful but chaotic. The ship arrived early but the excursions were all about an hour behind schedule. Its vacation so no big deal but we were the only ship in port so I'm not sure if something happened or if it's always that way.
