Review summary

I have been on NCL cruise and I think this one is the worst I have ever done. We spent a lot of $$$ for the shore excursions and did not have enough time to do or had to cancel because of always delayed disembarkation..ex. we docked at 7:00 am and we did not disembarked till 1:00pm. Our tour guide has been waiting for us sine 8:00am. late disembarkation and early return to the ship was the cause for missing most of our paid excursions

Ship tip

be prepared for a very long delayed disembarkation which caused us to miss most of our shore excursions. have plenty of patience, ours almost ran out due to inconsistence instruction on what gangway to disembark,
