Review summary

We didn't have any problems and have no complaints. It's a smaller ship and everything is about average when compared to other cruise line/ships. My only suggestion would be directed towards the dining options. 1) I'd like to have better menu options for dinner - what happened to prime rib, beef wellington or prime rib on at least one night of the cruise? 2) Was disappointed with the 'salad bar', 'snack bar' and pizzeria - other cruise lines offer much better options/selections!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fast and efficient process...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Somewhat disappointed with 'included/complimentary' dining options... Food served in the main dining room was always 'luke-warm' at best...

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Smaller ship that didn't have much more than the basic (pool, fitness, spa) activity options...

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the comedian!

Children's Programs

no kids..

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We didn't experience any problems and/or don't have any complaints but some of the servers could definitely benefit with some additional 'customer service satisfaction' training...

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and appeared to be well maintained!

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Cabin itself was fine but the location sucked! Bought 'last-minute' and only could purchase "OV guarantee" and got stuck with a 'forward' cabin which was literally the 2nd room. 1) there was NO elevator to this level!!! 2) it was super LOUD - heard clanking noises at 6-7am each morning when docking! 3) the vibration, while idling, was awful! 4) the buzzing noise, while idling, was unbearable at times!

Ship tip

Oslo Deck does NOT have elevator access!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Port is nice, clean and has easy access...

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
We always enjoy Key West...

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Nothing exciting... we usually just stay on the ship while in Freeport...

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Been there many times but still had fun...

Disembarkation

Did your cruise go to Cuba? If so, I’d like to know how the money exchange went. I’m getting conflicting stories from NCL about how it works onboard.
