A fantastic itinerary with amazing weather. Onboard was a solid experience with good service and decent entertainment.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Annoying the drinks package doesn’t include many things like water and coffee. Often choices were not available.
Food in mdr was quite good as was Chin Chin. Specialty restaurants not good.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Ncl has fallen a bit in this area, lack of diversity in trivia in particular. No change in timings etc. The big disappointment was that table tennis was unusable due to location and CD would not move. Other equipment was broken
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The tap group was phenomenal. The other guests were average. Igor and the main band were phenomenal. More matinee shows would have been better. Candace was incredible. The main production shows were entertaining but do lack a story line. Music around the ship was disappointing. Loved the last night concert.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Service was generally very good. Thirza and Harry on guest relations. The hotel director was very visible. Tahani the assistant CD was lovely. Waiters were mostly good. Bar tenders were either phenomenal or terrible.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Older ship but well maintained and clean. Love the promenade especially as now non smoking. Spinnaker lounge is lovely if only they would use it. Pool deck too crowded. Lack of passageways makes moving around difficult. Love the outdoor aft facing bar.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Moved 3 times. Cabin on 11 directly below buffet and too noisy. Downgraded to tiny room on 9 also noisy and then upgraded to this oceanview with tiny porthole window. Large room with good location but noisy buzzing sound from adjacent electrical room. Leaky shower
Ship tip
On a scenic warm itinerary like this have breakfast outdoors on the aft deck.
