Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everywhere I went was neat and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Beds and bedding are great. The bathroom is very small especially the toilet part. Taking out the separation between toilet and washbasin part would greatly improve the space. The space for cloths is very small too. Good maybe for hikers, not so much for normal cruisers. The safe is great, the placement is odd and for elderly or handicapped people a problem. I do like the coffee/tea maker and the amount of power outlets.

Ship tip

Pack very light and enjoy your cruise

We just finished the Greek Island cruise on the NCL Spirit. It was amazing. A few excursions we took were, Athens/ Acropolis, Mykonos/ Delos and Malta/ 3 cities and boat ride. They were all excellent. The food was delicious in the specialty restaurants. Main dining rooms were very good and buffet was good. Have fun!
