Review summary

Overall a fun cruise. I liked this ship much better than the NCL Sky ship. Clean, big and lots to do. I never felt like I was over crowded with people other than the first day of boarding.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Specialty restaurants were top notch. The Manhattan dining room food was great but service was not.

If you couldn't find something to do on this ship then you don't know how to have fun. Never a dull moment

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Service was good other than the Manhattan dining. The room service the last day was a little confusing. I ordered hot breakfast for my husband and I and when room service came he said no hot breakfast on the last day. I get that but there were 2 people marked on the sheet for two how breakfasts and cinnamon rolls and coffee. He came with coffee and one cinnamon roll. Clearly my husband and I didn't want to share one little roll. Not realizing that my husband already gave the guy a $5 tip as we always make sure we tip above and beyond.So in the end we paid the $4.95 room service charge and $5 tip for one cinnamon roll and coffee. lol I think you need to post somewhere that hot breakfast will not be available on last day so we could have planned accordingly.
