Sail Date: Nov 2006

This is our 6th cruise, but first and last on NCL. We are a group of 15, with 7 kids spread in every age group. For a ship that boasts Free Style and great kids program, we were truly let down. Our embarkation took 2.5 hours, and exceptionally long process.

The cabin size is good. However, there were 2 higher shelves that were so dusty. One of them had bottles of water and chocolate bars. The candy bars were full of dust. I have no idea if previous occupants left them, or these are from NCL, which they charge an arm and a leg. I left them untouched. Our room's safe kept breaking down. But it was quickly resolved each time. There was plenty storage space.

The first night we decided to try the specially restaurant. Cagney was fully booked by 4:30pm (we just got on the ship like 2:30), so we had to try Le Bistro. The food was absolutely awful. A few of us ordered Escargots, and we could only force ourselves to eat 3 of out 6. The dinner took 3 hours. Half the restaurant was empty, yet the service was so slow. We ended up missing the only show that evening.
