Review summary
The ports and weather were great.
Unfortunately NCL is no longer our favorite cruise line.
They are allowing smoking on both sides of the deck 7 so we could not enjoy a stroll on the deck. Smoking is still allowed in the casino while most other cruise lines have stopped that practice.
The guest services staff were unfriendly and unhelpful.
The ship is in poor shape with many malfunctions.
Food variety and quality is not as it was on other NCL ships.
TV programing is poor and the same movies were played for 28 days.

Ship tip
Check the phone system right away. The message center works only sporadically. Allow extra time in the dinning rooms. Some days it took way too long to finish dinner.
Ports of call
Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

Cunard and Royal Caribbean and Celebrity etc either do not allow smoking in the Casino or at least have a non-smoking section!
All other cruise lines have smoking only on one deck and on one side of the ship. Spirit had both sides smoking on deck 7 which is the covered Promenade walking deck. Should be able to enjoy smoke free on at least one side!!!
The Sun was a better experience and also the Epic but we will never cruise on the Spirit again.
