Review summary

Great itinerary, older ship with a mostly American crew since this is the only ocean traveling ship carrying the American flag. Port heavy itinerary and NCL knows it with a reduced amount of entertainment although they fill the slots nicely.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Once the security issue was resolved we checked in rather quickly.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

With a mostly American crew, you can sometimes sense less urgency compared to other ships with an international crew.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship is old but NCL has even older ships that are maintained better. I think because they have such a stronghold on the Hawaiian itinerary it might slip through the cracks. I must say that once we brought this to the general manager’s attention, you saw the crew really shaping up the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great location below buffet and looking down toward the water it was just between a break in the lifeboats.

Ship tip

Expect a little less when it comes to service. Also, this is a very basic ship in terms of entertainment since it is a very port heavy itinerary.
