Review summary

I wish service and food would be better. The app works only as Wi-Fi and will not work with cellular. That was very frustrating. There was no reminders about Upcoming reservations (dinner, excursions, spa).

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Checking in was very easy and straight forward. However, in the past there was welcome greetings with champagne and special dinner appetizers. And on this cruise there was nothing!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Not all complementary restaurants were available. From complementary restaurants available the food quality was not to NCL standards: overcooked, same everyday, not much variety

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Pool was crowded with kids. There was no room for adults. Not all spas we’re working

Entertainment

1 out of 5
No variety. Comedian was funny on the first day. Second time it didn’t feel right. Singer was ok. No variety like NCL used to have before

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Guest service will keep sending you all over the place and we’re not able to answer questions. They should be cross training to answer all questions.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Getting outdated

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was fine, tricky to adjust AC

Sorry the cruise didn't meet your expectations. We sailed in January on Pride of America & it was a great trip for us.
