Firstly emberkation was very good from Southampton ,ship was lovely loved the band in the 5 o,clock somewhere bar and the piano player in the district , loved all the shows on board , tenors of rock, las Vegas tenors, million dollar quartet etc , loved comedy club we had no trouble getting seats as we reserved a time on the tv screen. We weren't keen on the hypnotist as we have seen better and we hated the fuelling pianos as they kept asking for money we stuck it for half an hour they only played 3 songs amongst the begging and wanting us to scream and clap and sing along did not feel they were worthy ,we walked out ,we stuck to the included restaurants food was very good and hot , only ate once in buffet , ship was not too crowded apart from foyer not enough seats great game shows etc there , great entertainment crew . Only disappointment was they ran out of special brews on tap on first day ,not good , we did not go in the pools as weather not hot enough until last 4 days , cabin was good did have trouble with the patio door banging as seal had come loose for 1st 3 nights had a small $60 compensation for lack of sleep , thought we deserved more , good cabin steward never bothered us , disembarkation in Miami was better than we have had previously although the queues were longer after we joined it there should have been more customs officers to deal with us all. We would sail again with Ncl in warmer climes next time though.We paid for two shows in the supper club fabulous venue the brat back for the record was fantastic and the wine lovers show was very entertaining .We had no trouble getting tables for 2 in dining rooms., we paid over £880 for our drinks package and probably had our money's worth . Drinks are expensive ,We had a good package price with 5 days stay in Orlando but would have liked a cheaper drinks package price.All staff were very good , bar staff worked very hard , not enough of them we felt sorry for them . The ones in the District bar were very entertaining . Do not listen to the bad reviews as we don't think it was a bad cruise at all especially compared to the similar transatlantic on the Quantum of the seas same time last year which was riddled with faults.
