Review summary

The Ship was great, like the freestyle cruising idea but the variety has caused a mediocre food selection and taste is not comparable to previous (before freestyle) NCL cruises.

Food and Dining

Nothing spectacular even in their price added restaurants. service great, convenience of dining great. The food selection in main dining rooms has been lowered to accomadate the pricier specialty restaurants.

Arrived too late to enjoy the city can't see much in the Buchart gardens in the dark even though it was lighted (low level). City Tour and Buchart gardens tour poor tour guide. bus driver and tour guide left us waiting at the bus for 20 minutes in the cold while they were on a long coffee break. The other bus drivers were waiting for their people at least 15 minutes before departure. Wilson tours was the tour operator.
