Review summary

The cruise was good. We love sailing on NCL. Will be careful in the future on ship selection. It is very noticeable the changes made on NCL as far as the quality of food, and the cabin cleaning.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were very good. Ship's main dining rooms were good. The buffet was not that good. First time to experience this on Norwegian.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Played trivia mostly. Weather not good for swimming. No additional outdoor available on this ship. (rock climbing, race tracks)

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Some musicians were very good, others were not that good. The shows were good. The comedian needs to retire.

no kids

Everyone was very nice and respectful.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The sky is in need of refurbishment.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
One of the worst cabins we have stayed in. The bathroom had a constant odor of urine. Sink kept backing up and toilet at times didn't flush. The room was on the smaller side but adequate for what was needed.

Ship tip

I would pick another ship.
