Got on the ship within 20 minutes! Very prompt. The ship is small and incredibly old. Which is ok but means the walking deck was roped off alot as they were maintaining. The jogging track often had workers on it . Not enough areas for more than one show and there was no entertainment in the day - not even a film was shown on sea days! Usual bingo and art auction dire rubbish! So old fashioned - as was the shop! Incredible that it is so bad! Our cabin 4536 was really grotty. There was so much silicone in the bathroom patching it up! The hairdryer was an old type in the bathroom, useless to dry hair. Brilliant power shower and bed was comfy. Excellent cabing girl and the staff were very friendly. Terrible smell of gas through the aircon i guess! I went to yoga one day - i am a beginner 0f one year! It was unbelievable - i left and didnt pay ! Disgusted was he even qualified? - it wasnt ANY yoga i recognised!! 12$ for half an hour. The evening shows were good i thought. Apart from mistika illusion thing very old fashioned lots of swishing and flailing! You know the stuff. The ship was VERY hot everywhere i wasnt surprised when there was a Gastro Bug outbreak!!! So no library no games to be had! Was horrid. The ship had alot of Asians which have a slightly different view on politeness than us brits or americans! So plenty of pushing and shoving - hey you go ahead!!! Anyway . We had the ultimate dining package which said it included coffee denoted by C and juice denoted by J. Which did NOT actually include the nicer coffee or juice! Rather mean i thought. You could have a liqueur coffee however ! You could NOT have sparkling water but could have a club soda!! Weird !Drinks, prosecco, wines and cocktails were nice when the soda wasnt flat! Aperol spritz was ALWAYS served with proper prosecco which is good as other cruises sometimes fob you off with the horrid sparkling wine! Buffet selection was VERY poor and the same for the whole 10 days, as was food in the dining room for lunch! The coleslaw was delicious! As were the made to order breakfast eggs! The blue lagoon was just a walkway/corridoor that had tables in serving food!! We had the speciality food package for the 10 days. which meant cagneys le bistro and Trattoria - which is just the upstairs buffet sectioned off- not even a table cloth for the cost! But the pastas were very nice. Teppenyaki is far too greasy for me. I am vegetarian and all these restaurants were excellent in accommodating anything you would like! And saying if there was beef stock in the soup etc. very good. You could mix and match which was a real plus. Shame Le bistro didnt serve the 'emperors cocktail ' though. The place was open to the kitchen so was very hot. Steaks in cagney were excellent apparently. NO atmosphere in the ship no nice music in the day at all. All very grim! Singers etc were good but the 'acts' were all singing the same songs so you heard them alot!!! Considering there are millions of songs out there it seemed ironic!!!! First time we havent put on half a stone on a cruise! Canaries and spain were good where you could just walk off. Casablanca was a filthy place which i had read so i didnt get off there. We always love NCL so this was such a shock at the poor quality! I wonder if the next cruisers knew the whole ship was contaminated! The staff said they would be informed.....with a letter before they boarded the ship! A V O I D !
