Review summary

Very disappointing experience this year ... ship resources felt lacking and cruise director staff and entertainment felt second class. While we prefer to sail on smaller ships, it appears NCL is putting all resources to larger and newer ships and that feels very wrong

Embarkation

1 out of 5
"Platinum" check in was longer and slower than "regular" check in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Sad fact that aside from specialty dining, the best food was in the garden cafe ... main dining rooms were just a bad experience.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Some games and Karaoke were fun ... ship entertainment felt second class.
