What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œIf I could give it 10 stars, I would give it 10 stars. The food hall is a concept where you have all of these different types of foods.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œIf there's one restaurant, if you only get one specialty dining, it's got to be Cagney's. It's five out of five.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œIndulge consistently delivered five out of five for sure. We were big fans of Indulge food hall on the NCL Aqua.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œI would rate this five out of five stars.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œIt's a very good cruise ship. It's modern, it's cool, it has a lot of neat new concepts, and NCL did a great job.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away
The Watch-outs

β€œOn the Aqua, the door to the observation lounge is not accessible, and I really am disappointed. I saw multiple people who needed special assistance really struggling with this door.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œI paid $60 for specialty dining at Jasmine and I just feel like I got ripped off.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œThe bed sheets were very messy. They were stained multiple times.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œEvery single time we took a shower, it flooded.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertThe Sail Away

β€œthe number one problem that we had was cleanliness cleanliness and specifically our stateroom our state room had boogers and pee on the bed and that's a major major issue”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for The Sail Away .

  1. Book specialty dining reservations as soon as possible as they fill up quickly.

  2. Use the self-service soda machines if you have an eligible beverage package to save time.

  3. Check the Freestyle Daily for varying food hall hours.

  4. Consider using Palomar or Sukothai as overflow seating if the buffet is too crowded.

  5. Get to tea time (mini golf) earlier in your voyage because it is less busy on the first 4 days than it is on the last 3 days.

  6. If you want to go to a comedy show, go 30 to 45 minutes early at least.

  7. Do cruise next on day 1, 2, or 3. Do not wait until the last two days.

  8. If you are looking for a chair on a sunny day, head on up to deck 19.
