This was our first time cruising with NCL and frankly compared to our experience with other cruise lines such as P&O, Princess, and Royal Caribbean it just wasn’t the same.
Cannot fault food, drinks, service or the cabins but we didn’t enjoy the ships design or the informality on board.
The ship seems to be designed to cram as many dining and bar options into the ship but in doing so it just feels too on top of one another. For instance for all the bars there are very few places to sit and enjoy your drink!
As for the informality, we are not snobs but do enjoy getting changed for dinner and yet found ourselves in the minority where shorts, t-shirts and trainers were common in din8n* rooms

Generally the cruise was really good, plenty to do, good excursions, excellent food choices and very clean. However, the disembarkment process was an absolute nightmare, having being directed in a massive queue to walk 3 lengths of the ship over 2 decks which took 2 hours 40 minutes, we missed our prearranged/prepaid transport to the airport and had to rearrange transport. You need to sort this before I would go back on that ship.

Had a fantastic time on our cruise.
The whole experience was great including food, drinks, staff, entertainment and ports.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the entertainment was very good especially Choir of Man and Rumors.
There are some areas that are a little dated on the ship including the rooms, but wouldn’t hesitate to book and go on the same ship again.
We would definitely cruise with NCL again.
