Review summary

The cruise line should have had good signage up to indicate where to go when you leave the ship and how to find entrance to the terminals when getting back to the ship in all the visited ports.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Did not like the Hour and half trip from airport to port!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The dining rooms were nice and not crowded. The morning buffet was boring and food was so so. The main specialty steakhouse was great! The bars were very good and bartenders were all very friendly and poured a good drink.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

For a trip where we got of the ship everyday it was good, size was what we expected, it worked well.

Ship tip

Be sure you understand the distance from airport and ship ports, along with the costs to get from one to the other. These should be included in the price.

Would have been better if NCL would have had more peole around to help us get to Rome. Again NCL should have included transportation from port to airport.
