Review summary

Our 2nd cruise in a row that we felt we didn’t get to enjoy all the ports of call, we assume was due to weather related issues but NCL never explains why they didn’t stop. 1 out of 3 ports for our previous cruise and 1 of 2 this cruise. We like to cruise with the opportunity to visit new countries so when the ship doesn’t stop it’s extremely disappointing. It’s like paying for a steak dinner and getting a chicken dinner with no compensation.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Coast Guard inspection slowed down embarkation

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

All was fine

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Chairs on balcony too narrow and uncomfortable to sit in. Sofa bed couch not comfortable. Room was clean

Be prepared to lower your standards

Bermuda is probably beautiful but due to gail force winds for 3+ days site seeing took a back seat. Our excursion to horseshoe bay was cancelled

Stop cruising during hurricane season. That’s why prices are cheaper.
