Great destinations, good food - particularly good and caring looking after Gluten Free. Did not go on excursions except for a HO-HO bus as we found they were a little too expensive. Crew were very good and entertainment very good, particularly the "Elements".

Travelled from Boston to Quebec in September 2018. We had a mini state room with balcony. High standard of cleanliness and attention by most of the crew. One of the photography staff was quite rude. But this was the exception rather than the rule. The cafeteria was a bit hectic therefore we always ate in the venetian restaurant or in one of the pre-booked speciality restaurants. Some of the entrainment was quite good though on sea days there was not enough going on to interest us. whilst there were numerous bars on board, there was only a small library where one could escape the music and just sit in a lounge situation rather than a bar. One good thing is that compared to our last cruise 2 years ago on Norwegian they do tell you a little bit about the port of call for the independent traveller. Excursions were expensive and so we only went on one trip and then it was not value for money. Enjoyed our cruise and would be happy to return to Norwegian in the future.

My wife and I were disappointed of the Dawn's food. Serving a piece of chicken in a bowl of water doesn't meet our critia of a chicken dish. I thought the food was rather bland. Le Bistro was fine but Aqua was not. The Garden restaurant was delightful. The general condition of the stateroom was OK, but needs a lot of improvement. One sure sore spot was the lack of 110v outletsl given all of today's electronics. Also the shows in the Stardust Theater was very poor. Inl our week long cruise only two shows were worth looking at in our opinion. As platnum crisers we expected much better from NCL When in port and underway chipping paint outside our balcony was outrageous, we could not rest Alll things considered, we will not give up on NCL. Overall Ncl is still the best cruise line of them all.
