Good Enough Cruise

I liked the itinerary and looked forward to a smaller ship than I usually sail. This would be my 8th cruise all of them with NCL. Found the ship attractive, peaceful and calming. Neutral colors were used throughout the ship. Had an inside cabin and I found it comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well for the most part. Ate exclusively at the Garden Cafe and found it very ...

Cruise was recommended by a friend. I usually sail with Royal Caribbean lines. I thought I would try a different one. You really notice the cut backs on this ship. Food wasn’t great service was slow and tables weren’t clean sometimes took other people’s dishes away so we could have their table. Cut back on shows same 3 guys playing piano and singing for the 11 days not much entertainment. ...

Not up to the quality level of previous NCL cruises

For a 11 day cruise there was only non NCL production and one NCL crew show. The rest of the nights were fill ins that were not all that great. It was some thing to do but not the quality that you would expect from NCL on a 11 day cruise. The breakfast in the buffet was ok it was food but it had no variety. It took a couple of days for them to get the scrambled eggs scrambled instead being ...

This was my 18th cruise and I have never EVER experienced anything like this. The ship felt very comfortable and bright. You can notice that the ship is designed for warm weather, with all the waterlides etc.You can really see that NCL has evolved! The food was delicious, the only time I've had so nice food onboard was on my Celebrity Beyond cruise. The emtertaintment was faboulous, I really never ...

Cold Food Lets It Down

The ship was very clean and the staff were friendly. The food choice is good but in nearly every restaurant the food is cold or tepid. In the Versailles especially coffee was not hot enough and spoilt breakfast. We liked O’Sheehans and the service was very good, again coffee was not always hot. Overall the speciality restaurants were good although in Le Bistro the service was far too quick. La ...

Chose this cruise because it was owed to us due to covid as we could no longer cruise to Russia and the initial itinerary was good. However in the weeks leading up to cruise itinerary was changed 3 times. The ship was refurbished and the actual balcony cabin and bathroom was spacious. From day 1 issues arose no wine to our taste was stocked first time in 23 yrs of cruising. The zipper covering ...

OK well, looking at a few recent reviews, I've come to the conclusion I must be easily pleased! I've no major complaints about this cruise, all the staff I interacted with were very pleasant, helpful and hardworking, everything seemed spick & span. My cabin (a partially blocked outside on deck 8) wasn't massive, but was perfectly adequate, it's not like I spend a great deal of awake time ...

Interesting itinerary let down by poor excursions

We had some FCC to use up by the end of the year and didn't fancy the challenge of airports and so choose this trip from Southampton. We had cruised with NCL four times before and had always been satisfied. Embarkation was good but, although we had requested assistance for my wife in a wheelchair, we were initially put in a long queue with everyone else until we saw a wheelchair going to a ...

We choose this cruise because of the itinerary and because it left from Southampton. The stops did not disappoint. The ship seemed old and even though we were not pleased with our cabin, everything else about the cruise was good, especially the entertainment and the food. My sister and I were not able to get excursions in some of the ports. We did not find the information desk very helpful ...
