Review summary
New to free style cruising but it was OK. Entertainment (especially the comedian) was great. Food had a good presentation but nothing extraordinary regarding the taste of the food and the service was mediocre. I prefer to have designated dining times, assigned tables/wait staff, etc., who remember/accommodate your wants and desires. I also prefer cruisers dressing appropriately for the dining room (not wearing shorts, etc.). Shores excursions were great (went snorkeling both in Nassau & Great Stir Up Cay Island). NCL's private island is fantastic and the food offered on the island was great. Wonderful day outside, relaxing in the sun & meeting new people. Most all the cruisers were friendly as we met some very nice people on board and on the excursions. Fun weekend any way you look at it.

Thank you for posting your review. Freestyle cruising is different and knowing what to expect ahead of time may have helped reduce some disappointment. There are definite differences btwn the lines so perhaps NCL is not for you. Lesson learned, right?
In any event, sounds like overall was fair-to-good experience.
Happy sails!

Sounds like you didn't really grasp the concept of Freestyle Cruising, which boasts not having assigned dining times, no strict dress codes, etc. That was a huge selling point for me, because the last thing I want to do on a cruise is wear a tuxedo every day. I'm on vacation in the Bahamas... I'm not at some stuffy cocktail hour with martinis and caviar.
