Review summary

My 13 y/o grandson cruised with me and loved the teen club. He made several new friends and they all knew that ship much better than us. LOL!! The food was better some days than others - the steak was rather dry everytime we had it, and by the end of the week we didn’t go to the dining room for dinner and settled on the buffet. The entertainment was exceptional and we enjoyed something different every night. The last night we had just laid down and the ship made a sharp turn (I felt like I stood on my head for a couple of minutes) and I found out the next morning the ship had to make a sharp turn to avoid a barge - never did find out all of the details. Items sitting on out shelves fell off. But we made it safely back to port. We probably wont go back to NCL - Carnival is still tops in our opinion.

It was very unorganized! People were rushing to get on the ship, no one providing directions and staff not very helpful.

The directions to get off the ship were not clear. It was somewhat unorganized and chaotic. We were ready to be off the ship!
