Would recommend this cruise for a short getaway. it was fun and all drinks were included.
Embarkation
2 out of 5
Line was pretty long with not enough staff to check us in, that could definitely use some improvement. Directions once we got inside the ship wasn't too clear either but we just followed the crowd and found our way okay.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
We didn't try any of the specialty restaurants but the main dining was average but the service was very good.
Buffet had a nice variety. I would say NCL food better than some but worse than others. Overall okay.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Small ship so you didn't have to fight to find seating at the pool, restaurants or bars. the ship could really use some updating but was clean and easy to navigate.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Didn't attend any of the stage shows because they were really late but did enjoy the audience participation shows that they had at the bars throughout the ship, especially at Dazzles, they were really fun.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Loved that we didn't have to wait for drinks by the pool at all! Very refreshing. Overall, the service was better than most other cruises we've been on especially Carnival.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship was clean but old.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin Steward was friendly and attentive. It would've been nice to have a clean window to look out of but it was much better than being in an inside cabin.
Ship tip
Getting off of the ship was painless, we were off by 8:30 am and on our way to the airport by 9, it was a breeze because we carried all of our bags off ourselves. would highly recommend this option.
Only bad thing to say about this port was that there was HORRIBLE weather that came through and many passengers were stranded at the port and had to wait hours for a return ride. My husband and I were dining in the palace dining room and we were very surprised to see the tender bobbing in the ocean next to us. the people looked terrified as the ship rocked up and down in very high swells. I had been paying attention to the weather and knew well enough to return before the weather. Shame on NCL for putting those passengers in harms way. If I was one of those passengers, I would not return to NCL.
