Review summary

I have cruised 4 time in my life (not a lot) but all the cruises I have been on are On Norwegian Cruise Line. Unfortunately there were several things that did not go well on this last one.

*Once we got to our stateroom we noticed the AC was not working (we had to call 3 different times to get that fixed).

*The scheduled ports of call were on a highly tight  schedule (once there I felt super rushed).

*the entertainment (particularly the music...) I have to say thank God the 4 Stations was the part of this cruise. If not for them I would have pulled my hair out. We had a 70's "dance party" every single time future perfect was in charge of the music. We heard the same songs OVER and OVER again. The DJ...  well he was talented enough to break up the Grease soundtrack (once again) OVER and OVER. This was the first time I spent more time in my state room due to lack of good entertainment. It was beyond boring. I understand the fact that all ages and groups have to be catered to, but it seems like only one crowd was being catered to this time around and I was definitely not part of that crowd.

 

Aside form that: Santorini was breath taking. I will most likely be returning there soon (maybe a different month because it was really hot/sticky) .

Once the AC situation was taken care of everything was great. Our cabin steward (Richard Bernales) was great. Always looking out for us and our needs. There was always a smile on his face and he made sure we were taken care of.

Ship tip

Tip: if you are sailing on the ship, avoid aft rooms on the 8th floor (right above the Spinaker Lounge) so if you are in your stateroom earlier during the night you will be awake until the party is over.
