Had a great time on this ship which although the oldest and smallest in the fleet provided excellent service and food at all times, the scenery in the different countries was amazing and diverse and all the people were extremely friendly. Would certainly go with NCL again.

It’s not a new ship, but it was well maintained. The crew staff were excellent in taking care of the passenger.

We have just returned from a ten day cruise on Norwegian Spirit to the Greek Isles and Italy this was our third cruise with NCL previously on the Star and the Breakaway. Whilst overall we had no complaints there were a couple of things. The pool area is extremely noisy and very busy especially on the sea day. The food was overall excellent and all crew very friendly and helpful. I would say that our main complaint was definitely the cleaniless of this ship in some public areas but in particular our stateroom wasn't that clean despite being cleaned every day. We appreciate that the steward only has a specific time to clean each cabin but would have appreciated a more thorough clean. When we arrived in our stateroom my husband drew back the curtain of the balcony door and there was a hat at the side of the small setee covered in dust and fluff obviously had been there for some time. Perhaps a bit more attention to the whole stateroom when cleaning would be advisable. Lesley (Edinburgh) - 8th to 18th May.

Don't read if you want to know about the ship as we've yet to sail! I just wanted to say how very helpful Craig has been in organising our last minute cruise booking. He was very sympathetic to our particular needs and went over and above to secure us a suitable cabin for our forthcoming cruise. Thank you Craig! Great customer service!
