Review summary
Was very disappointed in appearance of the ship. Our cabins were kept spotless and seemed roomy , but at the buffet's there was never anywhere to sit, it seemed like the same food every day, and it was a free for all. You had to carry your plate and drink around looking for a seat, sometimes even taking the elevator to another floor. The freestyle cruising is a great concept, but the best place to eat was in dinning room where each meal took 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The entertainment was not very good at all. We were on a hawaiian cruise, once in a lifetime thing for our entire family celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary and they couldn't even get a decent steak or a lobster tail. The ports were pretty,fanning island was very interesting to see, disappointed in the sponsored school, thought it could be more. It was not worth 2 1/2 days at sea EACH WAY only to get 2 hours to spend there though. This was our 2nd cruise with NCL and very well may be our last. We felt very cheated and short-changed...especially when we found out it was this ships last voyage. It seemed we couldn't get off the boat fast enough for them. They were stripping it at every port, no gift shops unless you wanted to buy the left-over Alaska shirts on clearance, no casino, it was usually too windy to be on the top deck. The crew was very pleasant and accomadating, but we were very upset and felt cheated on the ship, food, & entertainment.Ports of call
Pros: Cleanliness of our cabin
Cons: VERY disappointed in food
