Review summary

Traveled with another couple, had plenty of time together, as well as apart. Original plan was to go to Cuba but NCL made everything right. We love cruising and NCL is our favorite line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
No waiting for drinks. Great variety in dining. We used Seven seas, Moderno, Gatsby;s, and Teppenyaki, all were fabulous. We even went to buffet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Activities were plentiful, either do them or don't your choice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedienne was great, performers amazing, band was one of the best. Live music in more venues would be our only complaint,

Children's Programs

No Children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff on NCL is their secret weapon, no one else has the service oriented staff that we find on NCL.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Design a little awkward did not like walking through one venue to get to another. Also missed O'Sheehan's. Some venues hard to find or too far out of the way.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room and plenty of hot water. Love the balcony!

Ship tip

Relax you are on a cruise! Appreciate the servers.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
No excursion but had NCL transfers and they were great! Easy port access.

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Not enough time, too hot. Change in docking location made for difficult access to excursion. We booked a non- NCL excursion, mistake.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

Been there before, not Cuba

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Been to Nassau before, so took a chance and booked Ardrastra Zoo and Gardens; what a treat! Lovely jungle-like atmosphere, saw "marching" flamencos, and fed parrots. Also included a tour of the island and a shopping stop.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest ever, walked off right to our waiting transfer to airport, Even had time for breakfast.
