Special last minute offer attracted us and we had been on NCL before. Most of the services varied from good to excellent including cabin steward, bar, entertainment, dining service and the ongoing presence of senior officers.

HOWEVER the quality of food in the major no supplement restaurants though served in opulent surroundings left a lot to be desired. Average was probably a generous statement. Consider a menu for evening meal that includes "Bangers and Mash". We also ate at the Asian food restaurant, Given we come from a Canadian province that has a high Chinese population and quality Chinese restaurants we are familiar with this ethnic cuisine. Aboard our ship the two dishes we chose were barely palatable.

We have sailed NCL before and have to ask "What is going wrong with the food?"
