Ship experiences

Food on board was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool was smaller than other NCL ships. The Drop Slide, Dual Slide & Water Slide were all very fun! Especially the Drop Slide which drops down to 8 stories of the ship! The racing cars were also a lot of fun!

The new ship was extremely excellent! Especially the staterooms! A vast improvement to the design and layout. The bathroom in the staterooms were especially a big improvement!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was extremely nice and roomy! The housekeeper was especially nice, friendly, efficient and professional! Her name is Connie. She's an asset to the company NCL!!!
