Review summary
This was my third cruise with NCL and my fiancés first cruise. He enjoyed it so much, he wants to do another in September. It was an amazing time, we made the very best of everyday and kept busy. We even joined in some activities we normally wouldn’t back at home like bingo, dance line lessons, game shows. We booked passes for The Vibe which is a pass only section of the ship that has its own bar, bathrooms, rinse off showers, two hot tubs and plenty of lounge chairs - it was the best decision we made. I’m not into crowds at the pool, and I didn’t want to be around noise and children (I escaped my own) so this was extremely enjoyable for us.Embarkation

Food and Dining
The Local Bar & Grill
The Local is the only place to get food besides room service 24/7. The options are limited but when you’re hungry - who cares. They no longer fry the wings - they’re oven baked and come soft and soggy so don’t expect a crunch, however I discovered that if you ask them to bake them 2/3 times and don’t mind the wait, they taste so much better.
The Manhattan Room - Main Dining Room
Never had a bad meal here. Their lobster ravioli is so delicious. Chocolate lava cake is to die for.
Ocean Blue
Wow, this food was top notch. I truly enjoyed my meal here. Every dish was amazing and full of flavor - cooked to perfection.
Cagney's Steakhouse
I had the porterhouse steak, wish I would’ve been more educated on steaks because it was a bit fatty but the taste was amazing so it was still edible.
