Never hand over your passport

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Asian and Indian food ... horrid biscuits and gravy (please learn that a crumpet is not a biscuit)

The high point was “hop scotch with crew members “ ... I’m not lying
Entertainment
1 out of 5
Two great shows the rest could best be described as embarrassing
Service and Staff
1 out of 5
Our helper Victor was great but if you see an important person in white and gold buttons - RUN , I swear lots of embarking lies , transportation lies (helped the cruse obtain extra cash without telling us of free transport) BUT worse and I’m sure is breaking Federal law - they announced that it was mandatory to surrender your passport before leaving the ship to enter Dublin...
We asked the ships official what was the reason and they said so the passport could be stamped ! Takes one second , we asked what was the real reason (no answer) I said I didn’t see any government official and what was their authority to take my passport! Well , then she says “ well you don’t have to turn you passport over “
LIES ! We kept ours , please never hand them over to a boat jockey that puts your identity in a plastic tub and keeps them overnight !!!!!
Ship Quality
1 out of 5
Even though the Pearl was redone , pealing paint , rust stains and worn carpet was the norm
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Ok , except you had to go out of the can to clean up - tiny toilet area (larger folks need not apply) and did I mention that the ships toilets broke twice in two weeks ? Like playing the lottery
A 40 minute walk to the train station (an hour on the train to get to London ) ... the cruise line didn’t tell us there was a free bus to and back from the train
Once again a mix up occurred ... wrong tags had to stand In Line for 35 minutes ...finally we just went down and got off -forget the color bands !another pay bus trip to the airport,but worth the 70 bucks
You guys can believe Tikiclay !! My husband, daughter and I were on this cruise and it was just terrible !! Ship looked old, drab, dingy, dirty... food was terrible thruout... NCL tours were disorganized, late and cost me money on other tours/tickets because of it... crew/ship personnel were untrained/uncaring/rude. Entertainment was non exsistent,.. would NEVER sale this ship again... thinking management should look into this ship/captain, etc !!
I was on the very same cruise and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yep, there were some issues with the ports, but we opted to do excursions rather than view the "oil tankers." I would suggest stop looking at your glass as half-empty.
