We have cruised many times and this time on NCL to Panama Canal was absolutely fantastic. The ship is immaculate, the staff (from management to bartenders to cabin attendants to restaurant staff...EVERYONE.)..were kind and willing to assist when help was needed. We had zero complaints the entire two weeks onboard. There are plenty of restaurant options that are included in the price so you don’t tire of the food choices. The a la carte restaurants are reasonably priced if you choose to try one of them. The entertainment was very enjoyable every nights. The excursions were all excellent and the boarding/I boarding at each port was basically flawless. If we were detained for a bit past posted times to embark or disembark, it wasn’t at the fault of NCL. The ports just weren’t ready to give clearance. There were plenty of pool chairs but you should plan on claiming your choice seats early on at sea days bc everyone will want one for the day. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
