Review summary

We like to you tube the ships and get to know them before we sail

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Getting into the ship was quite unorganized! People going left and right to meet in the middle and no NCL worker to direct traffic so took so much longer than past cruises

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Cagney’s is our favorite! Food is just average. Surprised they weren’t more Mexican food since that was the cruise

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Felt understaffed and not the service we’ve had on other NCL ships. Had drink package and normally you could lay out and servers would come to you, well this ship you waited in a line all the time to get your drinks. Not very relaxing in my opinion. Even in casino!

We really enjoyed our picture window and had so much storage and bed was comfortable. Rey was a steward and was very friendly and did a great job!

Book all dinners ahead of your cruise and research excursions. We did history tours and was pleased.
