Rare KeithJenner Posted October 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Has anyone been on the Spirit since it was last refurbished in Jan.? If so, how was it? Thanks!! :) In the end, the Spirit was only in dry dock for a couple of days. They didn’t do much that was noticeable really. Just tidied it up a bit really.

lamchops Posted October 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I just got off the Spirit and she is in good shape as far as I'm concerned. She's no worse than my cruises on the POA or Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderlustJourney Posted October 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just got off the ship in August. Most carpets in the public areas have been replaced, new chairs in Galaxy of the Stars, Champagne Charlie's, Casino, Windows, Garden Room, Raffles and outside. I've cruised her twice, love this ship. Staff are really friendly and the ship is kept clean. Staterooms didn't really have any refresh done, might have had new carpet and beds, but they are still fine in my books. Beds are unbelievably comfy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Couple questions actually! - How was the vibe on the ship? Old, young? Couples? Families? - How was the food and what was the best place to eat in your opinion? -Where did you cruise to? We are doing the 10 Day Eastern Mediterranean cruise so any feedback on that would be helpful too. thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacymay30 Posted October 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2017 We got back about a month ago. The Spirit is the oldest ship and I see why NCL has it doing such Port intensive itineraries. We loved it. We did very little in the ship. We also found the clientele to be very international, there was a lot of smoking (again not abnormal with a lot of international clientele) so the entire pool area was filled with people smoking, but the staff kept ash trays clean. Most were adult couples (large age range) but there were a good number of families with young kids. Very few teenagers. We traveled the first week of Sept. But the ship was a bit of an old beauty and great for the itinerary. The food was very good, warm flavorful and nicely presented. My biggest challenge was we ate at port then we ate on the ship. I was very thankful for the ability to get a salad at the buffet. The cocktails were well made Lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got off the Spirit last Thursday Many couples 40-70+ Seemed like many adult family reunions Lots of Europeans and Canadians Buffet was ok for breakfast and lunch Slow dinners in both MDR 2+hours MDR food good but not memorable Prime rib on the first night Cagneys was good but don’t expect Ruth Chris , no tomahawk Dress code not enforced Blue lagoon hot wings were popular Cruised to Livorno, Cagliari, Heraklion, Athens, Olympia, Santorini, Valletta, Messina, and Naples out of Civitavecchia. Super itinerary and recommended, just use the ship as a floating hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Moon Posted October 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The Spirit on a Mediterranean cruise is the best, in my opinion. The tiered open decks on the back of the ship make pulling into port and leaving port the best seats on the ship! Sitting there, sipping on a alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink, thinking about the day ahead or the day just enjoyed is a wonderful experience. The ship's front lounge is terrific. The ship's size is terrific. You're sure to have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
