The room size and layout were good. The bed was okay for me, but not for my husband.

Ship tip

The communication for change in itinerary was very poor!!! NCL knew about this before we departed, however they did not let the passengers know until we got to our rooms. They were not willing to make any concessions for the inconvenience and only credited $10, which did not even cover port charges for that day.

Ports of call

New York, New York

4 out of 5
This rating is for the city of NY, the area by the Pier was very nice and lots to do.

Norfolk, Virginia

1 out of 5
This itinerary was cancelled by NCL without proper communication to passengers. This was a big inconvenience and NCL was not willing to make concessions.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

3 out of 5
The area was beautiful, however due to storm winds, we could not do anything on the second day.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Would have given this 2 stars, because we were delayed due to mechanical problems with the ship. The third star was for the captain, because he properly communicated the issue to the passengers.
