Review summary

Not at all wheelchair friendly. Not enough area for smokers. This is the walmart of cruises. Not turn down service. Restaurants were closed. NCL circle the island/ airport drop off was a nightmare from beginning to end. I love my travel agent Kathy, but this trip missed the point. I will still always use her.

Ship tip

Don't take the circle the island/airport drop with NCL. Driver Wes was horrible on every level. He should be bussing tables not driving a bus.

A little more research on cabin location would be helpful next time. There is so much information online to help you choose the right cabin. I suggest you spend a little time on that it will make your next cruise much more enjoyable.

Fantastic cruise! Great staff, food. The buffet was so clean and kept very neat! The Jefferson Bisto was on point with quality , service and decor! Then the Liberty restaurant was another favorite of mine- remember - no shorts allowed in these 2 Venues
