Review summary

Family cruise, so we spent a lot of time playing cards and other family activities. Missed some activities because of that, but still had a great time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fastest of my recent cruises. We were on board before the restaurants were even open.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Los Lobos

5 out of 5

We were pleasantly surprised here. We expected good Mexican dishes, but my Carne Asada dish, but my steak was the best dish I had on this cruise. Also, really enjoyed the tableside guacamole made to our order.

The Local Bar & Grill

5 out of 5

Like the layout of the Locsl on Prima. Like that the dining side is separate from the bar side and away from the Atrium.

Cagney's Steakhouse

5 out of 5

All of our family enjoyed the steaks as normal. One of our group had the lamb chops and said they were very good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We really enjoyed the comedians and the Price is Right. Did not see Donna Summer show and Super Bowl was one night and theater was packed for that.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I liked the lay out, but others found it confusing. There are asymmetrical portions of the layout compared to other NCL ships. I didn't think it was bad, just different. All areas clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Think this was largest balcony cabin we have had on NCL. Loved new balcony chairs with cushions.

Ship tip

Book shows and specialty dining before embarking if you know your plans. We cancelled several of our reservations because people we traveled with had not made their own reservations.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Normal self walk off. Wait awhile in line, but was well organized. After customs cleared the ship, walk off was fast. We were in car and on our way by 0800.
