Review summary

We took the NCL shuttle from the airport to the cruise terminal. Very nice to leave your luggage and not see it again until it arrives in your cabin. Embarkation was smooth.

 

We had a balcony cabin on deck 10 forward. Cabin was clean and in good shape. Plenty of storage. 

 

The ship itself was overall in good shape with an attentive and friendly crew.

 

The food in the MDR overall was good, some days nothing sounded good to us. Buffet food overall was pretty good. Decent selection of different type of cuisines.

 

 La Cucina was very good as was Moderno. 

 

 We enjoyed the entertainment.

They did have your trivia and a few game shows. However a lot of the activities are now lectures with sales pitches.

There is the great outdoors, deck 12 aft. It is a smaller buffet. Most people don't realize it there until the third day.
