Review summary

As our title said, it was nice to get away.Not sure what is going on with NCL.Seems they have cut back on just about everything while raising gratuties.Also i dont think they ever cut anyone off if drinking too much. Saw many people staggering , and even falling down drunk.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Worst embarkation ever. Total kaos.Would not us in express lattitudes line,said it was not platinum on the ticket. It was then let us in line but took longer than our daughter and her husband who were in standard line!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Pretty well laid out even thought a bit different. Buffet forward, medical on dk 15. Elevators were a problem as seems to be the trend there are only two sets. They were always packed.Ship is very clean and nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin is quite small even for a inside, no drawers only little shelves.Some of them in the closet where it was so dark they were useless It was clean and the bathroom pretty good size with nice shower.
