First time on NCL, and not that impressed!!!! A lot of hype for nothing. As an avid cruiser, every cruise has it's pros & cons. Now having the opportunity to explore NCL I prefer RCCL, and it all comes down to peoples individual preference.

FOOD: If you go on this cruise get the Dining Package. Unfortunately, I didn't get it and was stuck eating food from the complimentary restaurants: Savor, Taste, Tropicana, O' Sheehans (24 hr.), Buffett, Noddle Bar, & Flamingo Grill. Food from the buffet was better than main dinning rooms. Main dinning room was pretty much the same menu all 7 days, not the best quality, and food served at room temperature or cold. Buffett was pretty good considering the amount of food served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but again most food was room temperature. Highly recommend the Noddle Bar (fried rice) and Flamingo Grill (Cuban), great and flavorful. Yuca frita and pork was my favorite!!!! My husband and I are sports bar kind of people and enjoy some good chicken wings, fries, and ribs, by far the worse food on the cruise......

ENTERTAINMENT: Burn the Floor was the best entertainment, what talented dancers. Comedy - 9:30 showing was funny, as well as the Dueling Pianos. Attempted to watch Legally Blond, but had to walk out because it was so amateur. Read more
