With the exception of Cagney's, the quality of the special restaurants has declined. Entertainment staff needs to review demographics of the passengers when booking shows. Over 1/3 of the audience left "Rock of Ages" but there was standing room only for "O What A Night".

The demographics was not into excessively loud hard rock which was more prevalant on the cruise than hits from the 1950's to the 1980's. Great shows from "Burn the Floor" and the comics were also well received. Very irritating is all the special performers continue to plug their CD's which didn't sell on prior cruises. We'd actually seen every one of the special performers on other NCL cruises so it's disappointing they are still hawking the same of CDs.

Worst time getting off the ship since the luggage for Gold/Platium latitude members was just as you got off the ship so after collecting the baggage you had to navigate all others to reach the pier exit. Should have been reversed to make it better for the members.

Cabin Review

Spa Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B9

This room is directly underneath the "ping pong" play area on Dec 15 so people reunning and jumping while playing make it noisy during the day and make it difficult to nap. Although there is a larger balcony you lose space in the room. No room between the closet and sofa. Would not book again.
