Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
I was so disappointed in the food. We have been on NCL several times before but not for a few years--the food and food service has gone way down hill. Specialty restaurants were good but I don't usually use them due to the extra cost.

room stewards were good. Food service was not.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Was quite rough for small waves. I have never been sea sick on various cruises even with 15-30 foot waves on one of them. But I was on this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great.
