Review summary

Excellent time again on NCL. Do some pre cruise planning and you will have an enjoyable time

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Boarded around 11 am. Organized, quick and efficient. Reserved GSC tender at box office and backstage tour and wines around the world platinum perks at cruise next desk with no wait

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was generally very good. Indian selections and noodle soups in the buffet were excellent while the Thai and other Asian selections were a bit underwhelming this trip. Cagneys, ocean Blue and La Cucina were all excellent

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Platinum backstage tour was interesting. Wines around the world was a bit underwhelming and disorganized

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Burn the floor and million dollar Quartet we’re both excellent . Comedians and magician in main theater were better than ones seen on previous cruises. Illusionarium acts included a soul singer, Broadway unplugged and a smaller show by the magician all well done. Syd Norman’s very difficult to get into without waiting up to an hour beforehand

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff that I had interacted with were very professional and friendly

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the Getaway. Easy to navigate and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Ocean view at front of ship. Spacious with lots of storage. Shades must be drawn a majority of time due to bridge above this cabin. Walls not the thickest as the neighbors watched tv daily from 5 to 7 am and it was muffled but still heard

Ship tip

Spend sone time before your cruise booking shows, reservations etc. NCL sends plenty of email reminders but many just don’t follow thru and then are angry when places are full

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Downloaded a walking tour from the internet and had a great tour of Old San Juan

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Magens Bay crowded but a great time.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Did walk off/ carry your own luggage and it was actually organized for a change
