Review summary

I’d go back in a heartbeat but my issues with NCL were too many.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had a suite so we had an excellent embarkation experience!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was ok! Nothing spectacular! We did specialty dining in Cagney’s and Jefferson’s Bistro- nothing was so overwhelmingly great! Ate at Cadillac diner a few times since Cagney’s stopped serving breakfast at 9

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Did not use

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Every song the guy on the piano sang sounded the same Had a better time sitting on our balcony just relaxing

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We had butler service that I’m still trying to figure out since we made all our own dinner and excursion reservations but they were good at filling the ice bucket Disappointed that no towel animals nightly We had to put our own dirty dishes in the hallway since they were never picked up

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was great but expensive !! There were 4 adults and we had 4 beds which was perfect!

Ship tip

This cruise was very expensive for a ship sailing at about 60-65%. We paid for a full cruise and did not get what we paid for. Wait until they are sailing with full services.

Ports of call

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
We rented a car here and drove the coast and went to the canyon and saw beautiful waterfalls and breathtaking scenery! Cruising the coast on Friday was awesome and the best part of the day! We went to the Luau Kalamaku and the entertainment was spectacular but the food was terrible except for the pulled pork. Definitely overpriced!!!

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

5 out of 5
Used tender to get to island- so much to see and do and we created our own tour!

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
Every island was beautiful😀 We rented a car and toured the island ourselves and it was better than spending hundreds on an excursion where you are herded around!

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
We toured on our own Beautiful island

Cruise Napali Coast, Kauai

5 out of 5
God’s best work!!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We had to be off the ship by 9am That was the earliest I have ever been told to be off a ship Luggage was easy to find

The only reason many folks seem to like that ship for is the time on each island vice what the other ships do. Sounds like your ashore time was great.
