Review summary

It was the worse cruise we have ever taken..and the most expensive. There was construction all over the ship, areas closed off, men on the balcony wokring, noise, noxious smells. Doubt if we would ever take another NCL cruise and wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE!!!!

Not enough to do especially during port days. Very little variety.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Not very good unless you just like music. Other cruise ships have much better and higher quality entertainment

Ship tip

NCL should advise customers if they are going to be doing construction BEFORE they pay thousands of dollars for a cruise!!!!

Because the cruise lines will not let their ships drydock for service long enough. They take the passengers money and laugh all the way to the bank.

Why did NCL think that it was ok to ruin everyones vacation. The guest paid their hard earned money, they saved, planned, dreamed. It is to bad and thier is not any excuses for it. 100% cruise credit is not enough the guests should get refunds including travel cost and more!

Great cruise

Panama Canal

Overview: monotonous food, untrained waitstaff, unfriendly cabin steward. Completely unorganized. Been crusin' since late 1960s.
