Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Horrible food, worst buffet (lots of Indian food, gray hamburgers) had to send meals back in the dinning room several times.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Only 1 actual pool & it is 6ft 8 inches deep. Always crowded, a very small pool available between the waterside & splash park for kids. The H2O Adult area had a wadding pool only about 1 foot deep that was so crowded you couldn't find a spot to sit. In order to use the sauna & steam room on the ship you had to pay a weekly spa fee over $200.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The 2 major shows were good but required reservations that filled super fast. The comedian was horrible, we actually left the performance along with many others. The band by the pool was a Spanish band & played all Spanish music no Caribbean tunes on a Caribbean Cruise.

Sorry to hear of this disappointing cruise as I recently was on 1 myself. Be sure to do the post cruise survey with them and be as detailed as possible. Won't help this cruise but they should give you credit for a future cruise..if you'll go ncl again. Seems cruise lines are trying to make up for lost time with charging more for less. Also they are short staffed. Hopefully your next 1 will make up for this 1
