Review summary
Nice ship, poor quality service. The buffet had better food than the dine in restaurants. The waiters take their time and it is hard to get a refill for your coffee. Rooms are close to each other, crowded. The hallways narrow. The offshore excursions are only promises with no delivery. We booked a fishing trip in Mazatlan. They didn't have the boat available and we had to accept a boat brought out of the storage with very low quality fishing equipment. I believe that the fishing lines had not been replaced in the last 3 to 4 years and the reels services maybe at the same time. Rods with missing rings, you get the picture. And fishes ???? nowhere to be found. Just a 6 HR boat ride. No thanks. We traveled with Holland, Princess, Carnival and Celebrity before. Holland was the worst and Norwegian comes next. The one we liked the most was Celebrity. Even Carnival had better service and food selection. The shows were acceptable with exception of the comedian. He was all over the places, attacking women, politicians, Christianity, men. At one point he became bothersome. We left early. Port debarkation, was base on the offshore trips purchased on board. No trip, you had to wait until everybody leaved than you can go out to enjoy the city. Not fare.
