We were concerned about going on such a large ship after enjoying smaller ships for so long but needn't have worried. The ship is aptly named it was a real joy, from the cabins to the restaurants, the numerous bars and sitting areas and most importantly the wonderful crew. The food was delicious whether eating in a specialty restaurant or the main dining rooms. Entertainment was good, some of it memorable although the same acts did perform a couple of times but it was quite a long cruise so that may be why. What we loved was there was always somewhere quite you could find and the fact that you could choose to eat your meal outside in the speciality restaurants and there were also a couple of outside bars and seating on the same deck which was great for watching the sun go down

I really enjoyed the trip thanks to IGLU.
The only big problem was the taxi from Miami port to Beach Hotel.
The driver did not get out the car and I couldn't communicate with her due to my phone not working. I was waiting an hour and only after someone calling her number for me, did she arrive. In fact, blaming me and say what I should have done. However I did eventually get to the hotel.
On the whole it was one of the best trips I've on recently.

To summarise, the cruise did not meet our expectations in many ways.
The entertainment was extremely poor, cheap and tacky.
The food was below average except in the speciality dining rooms.
The staff varied: not always attentive or even polite.
3 missed ports: 2 due to weather and the third because the port 'wasn't ready'. Disappointing to say the least.

Think NCL need to start changing menus in speciality restaurants, been the same. For a few years
Food not overly hot in any restaurant
Entertainment in theatre very good
Sad to say didn’t think service was very good compared to other NCL ships , hardly any service around pool areas
