Review summary

we met some really great people and the staff on the Spirit were wonderful but i find NCL becoming more money grabbing everytime we sail with them

3 out of 5
not enough seats in embarkation area

Food was great in the Main Restaurants ,we went to both Cagneys and La Trattoria and were slightly disappointed with the food , we both said the steak in the main restaurant was tastier than Cagneys

Weather was not good enough to enjoy the pools or most of the out door areas

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
ship now showing its age and some of the toilet areas are disgusting The toilets near the kids arcade were both completely blocked for the 1st 3 days of the cruise and i noticed when the cleaner went in all she did was change the toilet rolls , the bins remained full !

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was as expected and as we had sailed the same ship 11 months ago on a caribbean cruise we knew what to expect , weather was not great so had no use of the balcony
