I chose this ship and itinerary to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. We went to the ship around 2 p.m. and stood on line for a very long time to check in, and unfortunately the buffet was closed when we got to deck 11 to have a late lunch. We heard from other cruises that NCL was having computer problems; this was not communicated to us by NCL. NCL presented all female cruisers with a floral lei and men with a shell lei, which we thought was very special. When our bags arrived in the room, my husband brand new suitcase’s handle had been ripped off; we made guest services aware, and by Thursday, a carpenter had repaired it.

Our cabin stewart, Lesley, was awesome. He decorated the room for my husband’s birthday so nicely; note I paid extra for the decorations. He was very attentive to us, and always had our cabin made up.

We did not like the food in The Liberty or the Skyline; steak meat was tough and fish was drowned in sauce; however in both restaurants the service was amazing. Jane, our waitress, in the Liberty was SPECtACULAR. We ate at Cagneys x2 and the food and service were amazing as usual; Moderni’s service was spectacular, but we didn’t love the food; Teppinaki food and service was awesome. I’m so disappointed that on NCL we need to pay extra & eat in the specialty restaurants to get great food. Years ago this was never the case. Read more
