I had to write this review. I don't really understand the negative reviews. My husband and I absolutley loved this ship, staff, itinerary and all the entertainment. We are in our late 50"s. Have cruised all the cruise lines. This was our 38th cruise.

Embarkation was a breeze. Took about 10 minutes to get our cards. We were in the 5th group boarding the ship. Our cabin was ready when we got on board. We had a balcony cabin on Lido deck. Great location. Don't understand the complaining about the balcony. We were in The Haven on the NCL Breakaway with a balcony smaller then this one. This was perfectly fine for our needs. Chairs recline. Little table for coffee cup or wine glass. What more do I need? The bed was really comfortable. Lots of storage. Closet area was huge. Cabin steward Pong was superb!

We loved the buffet on this ship. A little confusing the first day but there were so so many choices. You just have to walk around and look at it all. Breakfast food was the same every day. But you could eat something different every day for about a month and never repeat a food ite. Made to order omellettes. Smoothies. Fish, meat every kind of egg, rolls, pastires, fruit. It was really an amazing array of choices. Lunch was the same. Almost too many choices. Plus the pizza and grill. Lido deck has plenty of food for sure. We also loved the International Cafe. Delicious items. Available 24/7. Loved it! Had a terrible experience at Alfredo's. Bad service. Undercooked pizza. Never went back. Read more
