This was our first time cruising with NCL and it was OK. I would cruise with them again, because the value for the money is there. The boat is a little bit dated and very confusing to get around. The sailing was gentle, no much rocking even in 25 knot winds. The staff was friendly although they were slow. It was mostly clean, food was good, drinks were reasonably priced for a cruise. Had some issues with crew members partying to loud in their crew bar which was located 2 cabins away and our room was noisy. Watch the shore excursions in Belize if you sign up to do one with NCL. They pick you up in the port but drop you off a block away and have to walk down a road with no sidewalks with people staring at you.(Did not feel safe at all).All in all we had a good cruise and we would go again on NCL, it is much better than Carnival but not as good as Royal Caribbean or Celebrity.

Cabin Review

Inside

Cabin IF

This cabin sucks. It is located under the galley and there is banging and clanking all night. There is a machine that vibrates the whole room and the crew bar is 2 doors away. The noise from the galley stopped at 2am then started again at 4:30am everyday. We did not get much sleep at all. We complained to guest services and there was not much they could do because of the design of the ship even though they tried to. Did get a discount off things that i bought on board but it did not make up for lack of sleep. If you have this room get it changed!!!
