Review summary

Our third time on the ship. Always a happy crew. I think this is because of exceptional leadership from the senior staff. The next cruise team and the super shopper Richard are among the best in NCL, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Very smooth. We were on a land tour prior to the cruise. As a suite guest, a NCL rep comes on the bus and escorts you to check in and another rep escorts you on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Speciality places were the best. Moderno twice, Cagneys once and Le Bistro twice. All excellent. Suite guests enjoy breakfast and lunch in Moderno which is worth the cost of the room.
