Review summary

Didn't know this was "all you can drink" cruise. Too many people drinking way too much, loud and pushy. Stateroom dusty with trash behind night stand and sofa. Mattress worn. Egg crate topper didn't help. Attendance not available at times. Rushed us out last morning, tearing down sheets while we were at breakfast. Atrium smells of smoke as Casino is located Deck 7 next to Atrium and smoke floats. Buffet small and crowed at all times. Food less and average here. Main dining was good, but no adherence to dress code with shorts and tanks at formal dining when this experience should be for those of us who enjoy a more sophisticated experience. Staff does not enforce dress code. We are experienced cruisers (over 20). This is our second and most likely last on NCL.

You do know NCL is a freestyle cruise line for dining? If you’re wanting to be fancy, go on one of the others. The freestyle is the only way I go.

So you must have liked your first NCL cruise? Summertime can be crazy on cruise ships, better to go when school is in session. Hope you find a cruise line to suit you? I like freestyle myself!

Ncl does not have Formal, everything is cruise casual and on the Sky & Sun even more so.
