This was my third cruise with NCL. Poolside is fun but the music is way to loud. I think they get a little carried away with the poolside contests. I suppose the college kids love it but the cruise is not a frat cruise. Drinks are definitely pricey and the 18% gratuity is a rip off. I wish the island days were three days in a row with sea day on Friday then port. We stopped in Nassau which really offers nothing unless you want to spend more money to go to Atlantis. I would go there Asa a separate trip not spend more money for a few hours time. Overall the cruise was nice but I was ready to return to port on Friday morning. If we had stopped in Nassau Thursday and sailed Friday instead of sailing Thursday and Nassau Friday I think I would have liked it better even though Nassau does not have much to offer.

Music in the evening was pretty good.we spent most of our time by the pool during the day relaxing and reading. Would have liked more lounge chairs in covered areas. With skin cancer on the rise I don't like being in the sun but like being outside. Ship is beautiful and the layout is exactly the same as the Breakaway the we took to Bermuda. Staff is very friendly and we do love Isaac greeting us in the morning. Breakfast food is a lot of sugar and high carb. Lunches and dinners were fine. Wine selection is mostly California which I do not prefer. How about some New York State and several additional Italian wines. More variety in general
