Review summary

the captain turned what could have been a disaster into a very memorable and exciting cruise. never left port till 1 am tuesday so did not get to Havan untill 4pm (suppose to be there at 8am) in stead of going to the private island we stayed docked in Cuba a extra night,hats off to NCL on make this decision

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
who can complain when the drinks a free, hardly any wait for a drink bar tenders very attenative,food just the same as any cruise nothing spectacular but not bad, if you think it's going to be like it was 40 years ago forget it. breakfast in the dinning room is our preference sometimes they had a hard time getting the correct item for what we ordered but did not complain or even make them aware of it no big deal. dinner was good NYS steak on menu every night not bad

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Ship tip

the ship is small but you do not feel crowded,easy to manover decks, we were going fo the experience of visiting Cuba

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

left from there

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
did our own excursion to Vinelas, got to stay extra day in Havan,due to ship having tech. issues first day out so we missed the island (yea). Havana is safe people friendly,know a little spanish,negoiate cabs before you get in total price not each person,take a cab ride arround the city tons of them right outside the terminal remember dicker the price
