Review summary

Primary reason for taking this cruise we’re the visits to Israel, which were cancelled by Israel (not NCL’s doing) along with the cancelled stops in Salalah and AbuDhabi

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Good, considering the necessity of covid testing

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great as usual

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Lacking, ie with 6 at sea days, few movies were shown. Most of what we’re shown were kids movies. The irony of which was there no kids on board this cruise

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Average at best, with one exception. The Comedy Juggler was a five star act, the best I’ve seen.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Most important was that no matter who it was, they had the time to talk with us and we’re extremely courteous and friendly

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Mostly appreciated were the Spinnaker Lounge and aft deck dining, aft of the Garden Cafe

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin number incorrect

Ship tip

Think twice about non-USA port sailings, at this time. Unlike US sailings, all European cruises require that masks be worn everywhere but your staterooms (and while eating)
