Review summary

Dismayed regarding the photos. Was not advised should have had an embarkment photo. Did not hear of the Luau night events. Would have liked to see the coastline Friday as was scheduled.

Video arcade. Wanted some of the classes but each day the schedule conflicted with excursion plans.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Children's Programs

no kids with us.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Why did we leave the last port late? Never got to see the coastline during the daylight once.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Design: The layout can be exhausting. Cleanliness: just like average hotel.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Bed was surprisingly comfortable. Service was more than expected.

Ship tip

Adjust your attitude to not think you are on "vacation". Hard to relax with event schedules.

How was your cabin? Large balcony? Any issues from deck above?

Left late last day due to required maintenance in port as noted in daily info. Sometimes it is the weather. NCL has no control over weather or US Coast Guard rules. Luau was promoted for days in daily newsletter and signature in lobby each time we went(6) on Pride.
