Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The dining room food was excellent. Lotus Garden was the worst Asian food, tasteless. Le Bistro is an absolute must. Food and service were top notch.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Casino wasn’t very generous with the free drinks. I paid for most. Carnival was free after seeing my play.

I won this cabin in the NCL upgrade bid process. It cost $200 more than my guaranteed inside cabin. I love NCL and my balcony

Ship tip

NCL cabin upgrade bid process made my trip! Le Bistro onion soup and rack of lamb
