Review summary

We are loyal customers of NCL crusises and overall have had great experiences. However, did not have the best time on this cruise as we encountered bad weather and most outdoor and indoor activities were cancelled. even the pool and outdoor pool activities were cancelled. They even decided to leave Bermuda port earlier than originally planned. they did not have a plan B for activities in case of bad weather. however, having said that I would be willing to give this ship another try on a warmer part of the year. This has been my only "not too good experience" on NCL. have been on more than 7 NCL cruises and all with great experiences.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Specialty dining rooms were just average. I have sailed on multiple NCL cruises with food being usually great. however, food on this ship was just average. especially at Cagney's which is usually my #1 restaurant. Did not meet my expectations this time around.
