Review summary

We really enjoyed our cruise. Weather was also verry nice for the time of the year. Ship was not extremely crowded...you could always find a quiet place. Everything was well arranged...also tendering was smooth. We always arrived on time or early. We loved the staff onboard. We will book again with NCL.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We had the UBP and enjoyed the drinks. We prefered to eat local dishes at the ports but the food on the ship was also good. We liked Ginza. O' sheenan was just ok. Never had a meal at the MDR or a speciality restaurant as we don't eat a lot. We did not like the seating at the garden café (the noise, the lights,...).

Cabin / Stateroom

Nice balcony cabin. Only negative we had it was an interconnecting cabin and the neighbours were verry noisy. Still we enjoyed the cabin.

Ports of call

Argostoli, Kefalonia, Greece

We booked a private authentic greek fishing boat trip (poseidon fishing trip). After the fishing we went to a private beach for swimming, visited a fish farm to look for turtles, prepared the prawns, cuttlefish,...and had a lovely lunch. We did not go to the town.
