Review summary

If this was my first NCL cruise I would never use this cruise line again but had many great NCL cruise before, however if the next NCL cruise in 2025 is just as disappointing, would not return

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Overall horrible quality because of hair full ships Buffet. Few and poor choices and food was over cooked or dried because of slow turnover Main dining room - all the fish were fishy smelling Speciality dining - been to Cagney in the past. 16 oz prime rib was 50 % fat and somehow it was topped With butter - horrible

Ship tip

The cruise ports originally 4 in 5 days of travel… great … but then one port was cancelled and on the cruise the tender to stirrup cay was again cancelled. I have taken 3 different NCL cruise and never made it to this cay. Classic bait and switch, only 2 ports in five days, the price for port charges and taxes were more than the cruise it self , well only $20 pp credit

I agree Freeport is a boring port. Unfortunately, weather can prevent you from getting into a port. We have had this happen on every cruiseline we have been on. Sorry you were not pleased.
