I was really excited to go on this cruise since it was my first cruise with NCL. This was my 10th cruise overall. I was happy to see that it was recently remodeled but it still lacks amenities that other competitors have. The buffet area is so small and crowded on this cruise ship and the food offerings are that of a basic cafeteria. The upgraded restaurants particularly the steak house and French restaurant are NOT worth the money. The steak house cooked my steak wrong 3 times and the French restaurant served me cold food. It was not worth the upcharge. The Italian restaurant was good and the sushi was good.

The room was nice and updated and the pillows were soft and the bed was comfortable. The entertainment was okay but again subpar to its competitors. The NCL owned island was pretty and offered lunch but that about it. The excursions on this island are extremely high and I feel they take advantage of the cruisers especially since they own the island. There is no shopping at this port if you are a shopper. Its more of a lounging day if that is your thing. The comedian was not very good and again i've seen better on other ships. I feel this cruise line is for cruise beginners or those looking for a cheap get away. Its definitely not for the avid cruiser and definitely not worth the dining package upgrades they offer. Spend a few more bucks and get a memorable experience in another line.
