Review summary

Had a wonderful time. Very relaxing & met lots of nice people. The only negative is the chair hogs near the pool, if you’re not staying please remove your items!!!

Most organized yet out of Tampa! Check in process was easy & only waited about 30 minutes to board ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

The best we’ve ever had! We used self disembarkation & was off the ship in about 15 minutes. Walked out of stateroom, no wait on elevator & straight off the ship!

I agree about the chair hogs. Some people think only of themselves.

I agree about chair hogs. That is frustrating. Thank you for the review.

The chair hogs are the worst. You could always tell an attendant that these people haven’t been back for at least an hour, and they will remove the items from the lounge chair.

Not worth it

Probably will not go on another NCL cruise again. Poor service, food at the buffet every morning was the same after 11. days it gets boring

Good value
