Review summary

We were with a group of 10. We all had a lot of fun together. Sumedh went above and beyond to help arranging what we would do each day. We cannot say enough about how great he was! The entire crew were always friendly and tried their best, we just felt like they might be overworked due to current lack of help. On the other hand, the ship nichols and dimes you to death. A lot of restrictions on the “free packages “. Also internet is extremely hard to access. If you are expecting Vegas style entertainment, don’t take this cruise. It was fun, but not our best NCL experience

Embarkation

5 out of 5
By far the easiest, fastest and friendliest embarkation we’ve ever experienced!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room food was good but service was extremely slow and erratic We ate in 4 Specialty restaurants. All food was delicious Buffets were way to crowded and very little late night food available

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We used the fitness center. Small for this size ship I enjoyed the outside running track

Entertainment

2 out of 5
From past cruises one of the experiences on a ship are the shows each night. Always very professional, a great variety and something veery entertaining each night. This cruise seemed to rely on one magician/comedian to carry most of the shows or they would just have a game show with cruise guests. Extremely disappointed in this

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The staff was always very friendly. I think the main problem was that there were just to few.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
If we could have had just a few more inches in the room at the end of the bed it would have been so much easier to gee around. Also the shower was extremely small!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The only thing I’d add is that it would be nice if the ship offered a map of the city we were docked in. We were offered a map at one port towards the end.
