Additional details

Sail Date: Nov 2012
Cabin: Obstructed Oceanview

I've been a travel agent, a resort general manager, a ferry captain and small-ship cruise director but NCL gave me a wake-up call. In their niche, they do it very well.

I'd going to add some details that I would have liked to know in advance, about ports, embarkation, debarkation etc.

As one who has run children's activity programs, I noticed that parents would be quite pleased. The kids could be fed at a buffet, then sent to a program to have fun while parents dine. Kids staff were plentiful and exuberant. Kids facilities were very good. The kids were few at the time of our cruise, but had enough to do that they were no problem at all, to couples cruisers.

Cabin Review

Obstructed Oceanview

Cabin OK

8118 was close to the activity but still quiet; small but adequate; adjacent to stairs and elevators. Obstructed view means that you're looking at a lifeboat and slice of ocean, and that's enough view for me to avoid seasickness. The bathroom is adequate but would be awkward if not impossible, for plus-size people. I was annoyed to get a bill after drinking the bottled water on our desk, and I said so and it didn't go on the bill. There was virtually no engine noise, no issue with music as the nearby lounge act ended at midnight. Another time I'd consider a balcony suite, well worth it to have a private shaded spot to relax.
