Review summary

Despite being an older ship, it was sufficient for a nice cruise. The TV was old and had to be adjusted twice by a TV guy. Few channels were available. Food was OK, yet bland. If we had to wait in line, it moved quickly. The shows were good and we especially liked the 2nd City improv. It was often hard to find a quiet spot to have a drink. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Waiting in line to get a ticket for the tender to take us ashore was a waste of time, since they were collected at the stairwells, so you didn't really need them to board a tender (tenders were required twice - once for everyone and a second time only for those not on an NCL excursion).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

There are no trays, so we had to find a table and keep returning to get more if it didn't all fit on one plate. The Chocolate party was great.

Entertainment

The 2nd City improv show was fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

We had a balcony. Size was adequate. We liked that there are doors for the toilet & the shower that you can shut. A new bucket of ice was provided every night.
