We chose this cruise because the date in Bermuda was our anniversary (50th) and we had honeymooned there. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food , as compared to other NCL cruises we were on. The only specialty restaurant we went to was Moderno, which was excellent!!
We were a group of 18, and we like to get together and play games, and we never found any place that was quiet, All the entertainment was so loud that we couldn't hear each other. The only place we found was the Garden Cafe,but not at meal times. No card room.
Also, the service in the dining room was well below other cruise lines, not only the language barrier. Extremely slow and not very gracious.
Didn't want to pay extra for a balcony, but there was a constant noise, which we heard more, when we docked in Bermuda for 2 nights. One officer said it was the noise of taking in water, and it would stop when we were sailing, but but didn't. Someone else said we were under the galley and they were probably washing the floor...but all night?? Take ear plugs. Our friends in 5596 was right under the galley and heard noises all night!!
