Sail Date: Jun 2012
Cabin: Obstructed Oceanview

First time cruising with NCL, 4th time overall. This was by far the worst of them. The staff was very open when talking and weren't shy to admit their pay was below $8/hr and they were being overworked because of a crew shortage (due to the bad economy... same old excuses).

SUMMARY/TIPS:

#1 - If you're a lobster fan, save room for it on Day 1 by not overeating at the buffet. Go to the dining room and have Lobster there the very first day (Saturday).

Cabin Review

Obstructed Oceanview

Cabin OK

Hallways are not too noisy. The view outside is obstructed, of course, but beware that you can smell a lot of the exhaust fumes from the tenders when they are used at one of the ports.

Size of room is standard (small), but perhaps a bit more crowded than on other ships.
