Review summary

First and Last NCL - sorry it just wasn't that special. Weather not an Issue and the NewFoundland replacement stop was very nice.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Disorganized at the Pier- extra staff and line stantions could have saved 2 blocks of walking and people cutting in. Once Thru Security it went smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Average food - Except for the Food Republic on 8 that had FANTASTIC STAFF, Great Street Food and easy to use table side order kiosk (enjoyed PHO, Street Corn, Sushi). Also the District Brew House pub on same floor - Outstanding Tap selection including hard Cider

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Cool weather but many people braving pool - Music was more for a Carribean Cruise for Spring break than the Demographic on that cruise

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Sorry but after 32 years of cruising on 8 international lines, this was not special enough to have a 2nd NCL cruise. Every answer is "Use the AP', could not understand the few shipwide announcements poor audio (group of 6 agreed not just issue with one)

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Overall well maintained - easy to get to key places, the smaller complementary eating sites were fast and friendly. NEAT CABIN DOOR ELECTRONIC DISPLAY for In Room, Do Not Disturb, and Make up my room (so no door tags). Attempt to save Electricity by inserting card as you leave cabin TURNS OFF ALL PLUGS and REFRIGERATOR - so don't save a nice dessert to eat later or put meds in Fridge.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room less user friendly than I remember on any cruise - small cube to sit on at the tiny desk was very uncomfortable. Not sure where they will fit the "Individual Coffee pots that are on order on the small desk. Bed and quietness of cabin was ok.
