If this was our first NCL cruise, probably would not cruise again but had a great time on last NCL cruise. Planned this trip over 20 months ago for our 25th anniversary and disappointed is all I can say
Embarkation

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food was average, service was good but staff had no emotion and were robotic. LeBistro for anniversary dinner, the worst specialty dining experience in our 9 cruises. Again, staff had no emotion, food was poor.
Le Bistro
2 out of 5
The experience did not match an anticipated French Restaurant.

Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Staff performed their jobs but everything was so robotic with a few exceptions. Bar service was methodical a lot of standing and waiting.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Very clean and grievous to look at but everything is so crowded. Cannot walk in opposite direction in common areas without stepping aside to let someone through.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very spacious including the shower. Comfortable bed, limited TV and movie selection
Ship tip
Book your dining experience early, shows were good.
Island is nice but we had a rough excursion. Supposed to be 3 1/2 hours which turned into 5 1/2 hours. Learned more about the tour guide than we did about Barbados
Based on experience on other NCL ships, Le Bistro is very overrated. I have had much better dining in nearly every other speciality restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend writing off NCL and would try different restaurants next time.
Sorry you were disappointed. We have been disappointed on cruises before but never on NCL.
I will say all of the poor experiences we have had have been in the carribbean.
Happy belated anniversary.
