Review summary

We won't be sailing with NCL again. My wife and I have been cruising for over 40 years and were very unhappy with this cruise. We would consider NCL to be at the bottom of our list, and we have sailed on most cruise lines numerous times in our 40+ years of cruising. We were told by family and friends not to expect much from NCL and they succeeded in delivering just that: Not much.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Million Dollar Quartet and Burn the Floor were among the best shows we've ever seen at sea. Piano player Antonio was exceptional. All other entertainment was average at best.

All onboard service provided by the crew was very good.

Ship Quality

The ships layout was as good as any newly designed cruise ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was average when compared to other balcony cabins we've had on other cruise lines. Nothing exceptional about it. Maintained well by cabin steward.

Ship tip

Cancel. There's way better value offered by the competition.

Nice beach, no shade.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Typical cruise line created port. We did an excursion with a local tour operator. It was much cheaper than the cruise offerings.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Very nice port to visit.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Leaving the ship was the best part of the cruise.
