Review summary

It’s a simpler way to see many islands- now we know where to go back to.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not as many, but your not on the ship as much.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Good comedian and magician- but only a couple of nights.

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

We had a couple of amazing waiters and hosts- a couple of not so good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Design and decor were fun, but ….tired. Worn.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was TINY! No where to put stuff and very few outlets. For as expensive as it was for a balcony- it was very small. An interior room close by was much larger- and their bathroom almost double ours! Bed was super uncomfortable.

Ship tip

Look for excursions with places other than NCL- more options and less expensive.

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

We stayed before and after so did not need an excursion

Kahului, Maui

3 out of 5

The port itself was ghetto and far from anything. Maui was great- did 2 excursions.

Hilo, Hawaii

4 out of 5

Port was not great, but the excursion got us to where we could experience the island.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

4 out of 5

The tender situation made it rough. The way they handled it was crazy. Don’t plan a morning excursion and it will save you a lot of stress. Snorkeling was incredible!

Nice review. I wonder if that inner room was ADA compliant? They would usually have much larger entryways, including larger bathrooms.
