Good points - spacious shower cubicle (despite poor lighting), excellent bar service. Awfully designed toilet cubicle with absurd and pointless sliding door which scraped us every time we passed through it. It appears to be retro-fit for no good reason. Cubicle would have been tiny before (think airline toilets) then they added door and frame which reduced dimensions by c. 3" on doorway width and c. 4" on cubicle width. Nobody would want to be in there brushing their teeth while somebody was doing their business behind a flimsy transparent door. Lighting insufficient in bathroom. Cabin is too snug for us.
Food onboard was inconsistant although restaurants look good. I love soups but wasn't impressed with theirs. Indian food was good. Entertainment was not as good as other ships we've been on, although there are many talented performers.

Restaurant food excellent, buffer mediocre.
All staff superb apart from two men on the customer service desk who didn’t want to be there.
Organisation poor eg tenders (appalling), no ship wide announcements (nothing in breakfast).
Cruise Director didn’t engage with guests.
No ‘lectures’ or even info about next port of call.
Theatre entertainment mediocre.
No ‘index’ of films on stateroom tv and those shown were on repeat and limited.
Stateroom & balcony small, cabin shower-room cramped due to poor layout.

The itinerary for this cruise was good. Unfortunately due to the weather it was unable to dock in the first 2 ports so more time was spent onboard. There seemed to be no contingency plans for activities for this extra time onboard. The buffet food was below expectations based on other Norwegian cruises we have experienced. However the food in the complimentary dining rooms was fine. Our cabin was clean and as expected with a visit everyday from our cabin attendant. On the whole the staff worked very hard.

Overall a disappointing cruise - the worst we’ve taken although we had a good time in spite of NCL. We have always told friends and family you won’t eat as well as you do on a good cruise ship. Not this time sadly. Main dining food was often tepid and very repetitive of an okay standard. Not what we’ve been used to on other cruise lines. The theatre shows with a couple of exceptions were generally average with little effort - one night they stuck on an old Indian Jones movie instead of bothering with any show at all. Service throughout the ship was very mixed. Some great staff who wanted to engage but many more who were disinterested. The cruise director was overbearing and annoying. She said several times that she was the youngest cruise director ever and called passengers who were leaving after a show had finished rather than listen to her spouting on disrespectful for leaving. However every time she walked past us having a drink in a bar and would ask how we were or were we enjoying the cruise etc, never ever stopped to listen to an actual response - disrespectful I say back at you. If you have a gluten allergy or intolerance watch out as you are a second class citizen with this cruise line and are nowhere near catered for despite what they think. On initial embarkation we were all told they would not be giving the daily piece of paper you tend to get detailing the days activities, shop, restaurant times, shows on, general weather and sea conditions etc etc. This was to save paper so very environmental. However we probably averaged about three sheets of paper a day being bombarded with all the upsell so no concerns over the environment there. I could go on but to end with the completely disorganised shambles that often happened when leaving the ship for a day out. The queues weren’t managed and it often became a free for all. One shuttle they actually put on in port again had the most massive queue and none seemed to know what was going on. I’ve never experienced such badly organised pier arrangements and staff were nowhere to be seen when they were needed. I said I wouldn’t go on but need to say when asking the excursions team on ship what our options to get into Amsterdam were as we were not in the port we expected they were very unhelpful- offered no advice but did try to sell us there $119 per person coach in to Amsterdam for about the two hours we would actually get there. Many of the piers the ship stopped at were not where expected and necessitated considerable expense and effort to actually get to the city we were meant to be visiting. NCL never again!

Things to do in Newhaven (For Edinburgh):
Edinburgh Castle
Sitting atop Castle Rock – an area that has been inhabited by humans since the Iron Age – Edinburgh Castle, in some form, has overlooked the Edinburgh area since the 11th century. Starting out as a royal residence for Malcolm III, the castle eventually became a military garrison from circa 1633, and has since become an important part of Scotland’s national heritage. It played an active role in the Wars of Scottish Independence throughout the 14th century, the siege to free James III of Scotland in 1482, and the Lang Siege from 1571 to 1573 – while also being an important site during the Jacobite rising of 1745, among other Scottish conflicts. Now a tourist attraction with historical displays, several shops and cafes, and some sensational views of the city, a visit to Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed.

This hill in central Edinburgh is home to a number of important landmarks and monuments, making it a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Edinburgh. Standing over 150 ft high over the Scottish capital, you’ll find the following monuments on this UNESCO World Heritage Site: the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the old Royal High School, the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs’ Monument, and the City Observatory. With some of these monuments as old as the 18th century, there’s a lot to learn about Edinburgh and Scotland’s history just from this one hilltop – that, and some stunning views of the city surrounding you.
The Scott Monument
A stunning Victorian Gothic monument in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, an area where you can see Edinburgh Castle atop Castle Rock rising in the distance, the Scott Monument honours Scottish novelist, poet, and historian Sir Walter Scott – who authored Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1818), and Ivanhoe (1819), among others. At over 200 ft tall, it’s the second-tallest monument to an author in the world after the Jose Marti Monument in Havana, Cuba. While breathtaking to see from street level, you can also climb up this intricate tower monument to enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh from viewing platforms. Inaugurated in 1846, the monument itself is adorned with visages of Scottish writers, poets, and other notable figures.
