Review summary
This was our first cruise with NCL and we were very satisfied. The Spirit is kept in good shape and we found all amenities spotless. All staff members were friendly and helpful. Our midship ocean view room had ample space for our belongings and the bed extremely comfortable. The size of the shower is at least double what we have had on other cruise ships and the separate toilet very convenient. The speciality restaurants are great especially Le Bistro but Shogun was a bit of a disappointment. The food in the main dining rooms and buffet was excellent although some of the desserts in Raffles were a bit tasteless but the desserts in the main dining rooms were all excellent. Barcelona is a fantastic port to sail from as there is so much to see and port easily accessible. We'll definitely sail with NCL again and this specific itinerary can be highly recommended.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Le Bistro
Definitely the best food on the ship! We had four meals here and they were all outstanding!
Teppanyaki
Book early if you want to dine here as it is very popular! It was a fun experience with the food being prepared in front of you by a very witty chef and the dishes were very tasty indeed!
Cagney's Steakhouse
The food and service very good. The staff were friendly and we didn't wait long for our dishes.
Raffles Court And Terrace
The selection of dishes were good and the staff work very hard to clear the tables as soon as possible. Sometimes we struggled a bit to find a table for four when it got very busy but it wasn't a serious problem.
Onboard Activities
Tivoli Pool
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the pool and jacuzzis. The music got a bit loud at times but overall the entertainment was good.
Entertainment
Spinnaker Observation Lounge
One of our favourite venues on the ship.
