The ship is huge!! With the exception of a few bright spots, it was very impersonal. I might go again, but my expectations will be much lower!!

The shows were amazing! Jersey Boys and Six were really great productions and very worthy of our time. Comedy shows were okay. There were two comedians that were fabulous, unfortunately, one was so poor, the quality of the show suffered. (Felt like this person was simply winging it.) There were few other activities offered onboard. Unless you want to pay extra for laser tag or car racing or participate in pool based contests (best legs??). The one great option was wine tasting.

"Free at Sea". Very poor!!! There is no free lunch is the lesson here. We turned down the drink package. Because, we would have needed to drink 4+ drinks per person per day. That is the amount of tips/gratuity we would have paid for taking the free package. We took the free Internet and then upgraded for unlimited which was wise. Occasionally, the service was overtaxed, but in general, it was adequate. Free airfare and transfers. Please don't!! We disembarked by 9:30 AM and had flights scheduled by NCL after 9:30 PM. The transfers were run by some absolute amateurs dressed in NCL garb. After being part of a silly crowd of chaos, we decided to take an uber to the port. We accepted the free service charges (bright spot) and also took the free 3 specialty restaurants.
