Worst transatlantic cruise I've every been on. Did not live up to expectations. Embarkation and disembarkation up to 3 hours at several ports. Lines 1/4 mile long, waiting in rain in France. Disembarkation in Southampton 3 hours because they had only 4 immigration inspectors for 4000 cruisers. Missed 2 ports (Azores and Belgium). Missed excursions or only saw half of what we supposed to. Even the buses for the excursions were not good.

One leaked through the AC vents (AC did not work), another the PA microphone did not work so we could not hear anything and guide did not stay with group. Ship not equiped to handle disembarkation and embarkation efficiently. Cabins good, specialty dining good but free restaurants just average, service good, entertainment good. Will not travel on NCL again. Even the staff were upset. The public rooms smelled like dead fish where the the Ocean Blue and sushi restaurants are

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Nice size. Good cabin

Port Reviews

Southampton

Because it took 3 hours to get off ship, we were last bus into Stonehenge. Guide did not stay with group. Bus PA system did not work and guide had such a heavy accent we could not understand her. The Salisbury Cathedral was closed by the time we got there and we could only see it from the outside in near darkness. Missed the beautiful inside and seeing the Magna Carta
