This was one of the best cruises I have taken. Freestyle Dining was a pleasant surprise - I did not anticipate that I would prefer it over traditional dining - it turned out to be the best thing that NCL could have done in comparison to other lines. As a result, I will probably only sail NCL in the future. I can't say enough about the service we received on board. The crew of this ship was outstanding. Even the pursers desk was friendly, helpful and professional - something I have never experienced on another ship. I did not see or hear of any other passenger receiving bad service or attitude from anyone on the ship - bravo to NCL.

Embarkation and debarkation were the best I have ever experienced. Very fast and extremely well organized.

The food on this ship was excellent. I have no complaints whatsoever other than a couple of dishes that were not to my personal liking. Even Raffles buffet which seemed to be the bear the brunt of much criticism on past cruises was of good quality, consistent and had plenty of selection. The coffee could have been better, but the cappuccino and espresso in the dining room was excellent. Read more
