Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

In general the food is good but not great. Lots of repetitive fishes and the cooking quality is not as good as the past. We had cruised with NCL few times by now. We didn't get any great room service either this time, no towel animal in the room, later on we learned that it will be done by request, well, we only had two days left in our trip so we let go of it. NCL increase gratuity but I don't feel like we received the value of it. To me, we have observed that NCL uses too many waiters and waitresses. Cut down some cost on that and give it back to the customers, that will be great.

Service and Staff

Some waiters are awesome, really awesome, but some of them are just a little bit too much. We came for vacation, and it is really noisy when we are trying to have a family dinner together and someone(s) is/are trying to use shaker and sign "Wishy washy......". Very annoying.

Cabin / Stateroom

we upgraded to 8110 an Oceanview room. The room is still very small, and I don't see a big difference between inside stateroom and an Oceanview room.
