Sail Date: Feb 2006

We flew to Honolulu 2 days early and stayed at the Marriott on Waikiki Beach. NCL registered us (and took our credit card information and our identification pictures)from their office in the hotel. We attended a NCL orientation breakfast and finished booking our excursions then. I had outlined where we wanted to eat each night on the cruise and gave that list to the NCL office which they said they could enter for us. (As soon as we got on ship, I went to front desk to confirm the dinner reservations, but they had none, so I gave the lady at the front desk my requests and she entered all of them. For East Meets West, you must indicate which part of the restaurant you want--we choose Teppanyaki (they cook you food in front of you.)

Getting to the ship was easy....with NCL transfers. We entered the cruise terminal and were guided to a desk where we picked up our cruise cards. From the time we were off the bus (at 12:45 p.m.) until we were on the ship took 15 minutes! We went and bought our coke stickers from the first bar we saw and we were ready for a great cruise!

We loved the aft room. The deck was 10 feet by 12 feet. It had 2 chairs and a lounge plus a little coffee table. We found a new use for the bungee cord! We let it hang straight down after attaching it to one side beam and it showed us how strong the wind was blowing! (Usually use it as a clothes line.) The bathroom was nice. The room was fine. Our room was clean, bed made, ice bucket filled and towels exchanged. We were careful to leave the messages on the turnwheel outside our cabin. Our cabin person would have received a bigger tip from us if he had come and visited with us. He seemed very busy--too busy to talk. Other cabin stewards talked more to us than he did. We enjoyed our cabin!
