Review summary

This was the first cruise that I have taken alone and I still had a fabulous time! I will continue to go on NCL cruises. It’s the only cruise line that I use.

The service was excellent and the staff was extremely kind.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The design and layout are excellent. The common areas were always clean, but many of the hand sanitizer dispensers were empty. Some of the faucets didn’t work and it was difficult to get soap out of many of the dispensers.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Excellent!

Ship tip

If you’re sailing solo, be sure to attend the Solo Traveler meetups.

Norfolk, Virginia

The shore excursion that was a tour of Norfolk was awful. It was one of the worse shore excursions that I have ever taken. The tour guide was boring, and except for the MacArthur museum and an ice cream shop, we never got off the bus, not even to take pictures or to buy souvenirs. We were in the museum for such a short time, we hardly saw anything. We should have spent another 20 minutes and could have skipped some of the tour where we were told “it’s over there but you can’t see it”.
