Review summary

Great cruise, weather was not the best in Tampa at the start and end. We enjoyed it very much. The shows were a highlight although must admit we walked out on the comedian. We are Platinum now and for sure will soon be a Platinum PLus

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Did not go to a buffet, loved O'Sheenans. Cagney's and Cucina were very good. For me the selection of menu items at the main dining rooms could have been better

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My wife does not like spicy food and after mentioning there was to much pepper on meals. They were very understanding and made sure any waiter we had was aware of it. Service was impeccable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We have been on about 11 cruises with NCL and the layout on the smaller ships are all about the same. Everything we saw was will maintained and spotless.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Everybody says NCL cabins are small but it is big enough for us. The room was very clean.

Disembarkation

NCL's part was great, but once you leave the ship it was chaos. Had friends picking us up and got different info many times about where to go to be picked up
