We spent 10 nights in NYC after the cruise and then returned to Australia, so I’m a little late in filing, but I’ve had the chance to read other reviews.
Frankly I am surprised at the favourable reviews of this ship. I have several serious complaints that I have already presented personally to the Hotel Director on board.
Our cabin was great – plenty of space for everything. The itinerary was great – all the ports were interesting. We really enjoyed Teppanyaki and the Chef Dinner – we did not dine in other pay restaurants because we wanted to meet fellow travellers. Partly due to dining issues we did not get to much entertainment. I personally found Jeff not funny, but I respect that many passengers enjoyed him. The juggler was awesome (and very funny!) Boarding was delayed but that may have been a port issue. Tenders did appear to be an issue – I haven’t experienced this before, don’t know how NCL compares.
