Review summary

It was a College Party Cruise that NCL was aware of but NEVER told the few families with children on board. My 13 year old daughter & 11 year old son didn't feel safe having to deal with a bunch of DRUNK college aged adults. It was not a scenario for children. NCL never made us aware and we were extremely disappointed.

Had to spend the majority of the time in the video arcade to give kids a place away from drunk college passengers.

Service and Staff

Staff seemed annoyed and tired of the college crowd which reflected on their service to everyone.

We had drunk people trying to get into our rooms and banging on the doors as they walked by. This happened several times throughout the night.

Ship tip

Don't book with them during Spring Break!!!

And how exactly would NCL know that in advance? Just FYI, shorter cruises are notorious for being more party type cruises as do spring break cruises. Do a 4 day during spring break and you are going to get the party crowd.

You mean the ship that advertises an open bar as a perk had a lot of drinkers? Surprising

Unfortunately the shorter trips around easter are prime for college spring breakers.
