Review summary

My wife and I will be looking to take future cruises with NCL to different ports. Can't wait till the next one! Over all a great Go Go Go vacation experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent! We got on the ship early afternoon and really had a nice time at the pool and checking out the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everyone has a different taste for food but it is all in what you make of it. The key is the ship offered a good verity of food and dinning experiences that I thought were really good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
If the excursions weren't enough the on board ship activities filled in the blanks. I was satisfied.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Not into the shows that much but the Djs at the pool were great.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was is good shape and kept very clean during our stay.

Ship tip

Plan, Plan, Plan a head for your excursions and leave open the short excursions for you to explore on your own. We used one private excursion with 4 other shipmates that came with high reviews that was beyond expectations. Use the NCL FB page to follow along with others that are taking the cruise before you for some good recommendations.

Ports of call

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5

Rhodes, Greece

1 out of 5
busy port was a short stop and the only port we had a bad experience with a waiter at a restaurant that roped you in from walking by. Big mistake try to find a restaurant just outside of tourist area.

Santorini, Greece

5 out of 5
Our second best excursion where we did the Opa party and it was the really awesome. Good food, good wine & drink and good dancing! Take the gondola down the hillside unless you are in good shape and don't mind smelly donkey crap walking down the 840 steps. Or if you like donkeys you can ride one down the steps. LOL

Souda (Chania), Crete

4 out of 5
Short stop but had good shopping and a beautiful place to eat and drink.

Valletta, Malta

1 out of 5
Short stop did our own things but the on/off bus jerked us and we did not get to go where we wanted and was very disappointed. Get a short taxi ride to the Waterfront where there are awesome looking beaches, shopping and restaurants. Next time we know better.

Messina, Sicily

4 out of 5
Very nice time just shopping and walking around.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
All day excursion private tour with the most wonderful guide. Too much to type here but my wife will post in NCL FB Fan Page. The best day ever by far.

We have been on three cruises with NCL and will be going on 4th in October. Always have a super time. Though the crew is different each time we cruise we have never been disappointed. Happy cruising!
