I am probably one of the younger reviewers here, only 25, but have spent a good chunk of my life cruising around. This being my 8th cruise, first on NCL however. I was a bit apprehensive seeing as the reviews of this ship only have it in the low 70% approval rate. But we got a steal of a deal around 700 for a balcony in the winter to the caribbean, couldn't pass that up! FYI I'm of the mindset like others, that if you rate a cruise 1 star you cannot be satisfied by much of anything.
I'll do the usual run down.
Embarkation:
14000, right at the front, port side. No noise despite being across from a crew door. We had a privacy balcony, nice and quiet. I thought it would be annoying, but we had a great view, no complaints!
