Review summary

Paid to spend two days in the Bahamas and only spent one.  Spent the other day at sea doing dumb cruise ship games because the waters were too rough to get us ashore on the small boats.

 

I get that part of it, and I'm glad they're concerned for our safety, but there should be a better back up plan.  Go back to Nassau, go to Freeport.  Go to a place where there's a dock and we're not getting unloaded in small boats.  But to keep us captive at sea for the entire day was not cool.

 

The food was mediocre.  If you're a foodie, this is not the cruise for you.  If you're cool with cafeteria food, you'll love it.  If you like Denny's, cheap all-you-can-eat buffets or Little Caesar's, you'll love it.

 

The rooms were pretty good.  We had a balcony on ours which was pretty amazing to sit outside and sail on the ocean and watch the moon, or sunset.  That was awesome!

 

Tyler, the cruise director was great.

 

The comedian was awesome.

Did you every consider the huge cost to NCL to relocate to another stop? Did you consider that dock space is limited at most ports for cruise ships and is booked months in advance? Did you consider that if they were able to go to anther port that the travel time would eat into the time you would have in that port. What would be the point in all the expense and effort for a short few hours on land? It looks like you did not think things through before you made your post.
