This was our first cruise which we did for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Embarkation and disembarkation was really smooth and very quick (about 15 mins at check in). The ship was very clean and our cabin (a balcony) was spacious and the steward Bernard was always available to assist and very friendly. Dining in the complementary restaurants was fine and the food and service was very good. We ate in one of the speciality restaurants (Le Bistro) which was wonderful and the food was delicious. We went to two shows Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Burn the Floor both very good but very different. The ports were the main reason we chose this cruise as it visited all the places we wanted to see. We had excursions to Pompeii Rome and Florence and enjoyed them all. We just walked in the other ports.
We would definately use NCL again.
