This was our first cruise, and we traveled with our 2 kids (4 yrs and 6 months) as well as friends.

Other passengers told us that they were very unhappy with this boat, as compared to other NCL boats. Not having anything to compare with, I thought the boat was beautiful, the staff mostly good, and the food better than expected. Entertainment was poor, and getting on and off the boat was very unorganized.

Things we liked: Lots of food, always available and fairly good quality (but we had very low expectations). Great kids program (but no babysitter available for the baby). Most of the staff was very friendly and tried to be helpful. The magic show was great, most other entertainment was just OK. The woman's spa room was lovely - great sauna and steam room. The area in front of the "Galaxy of the Stars" was great for a nice view and quiet place to sit and relax. Read more
