We ebarked from Malta. First impression of the ship is Wow very very nice. the staff is really helpful. One of the attendants came to help us with the hand luggage and showed us the cabin, then we took lunch at the Zanzibar cafeteria, Food is excellent, not cold as others described.
Service in restaurants is better than the buffets. Restaurants food is presented very well and again food is excellent, the only thing lacking is the buffet in the evening that needs a little more improvement since there is not a lot of choice.
My husband said that pasta is not cooked well but is not the case it is that he does not like al dente pasta but i really like it. Also the ship offers different type of fish plates. Ncl did not offer as such.
