Embarkation :
We arrived at the embarkation pier at around 1:00 pm which was pretty late already as a lot of people were already queuing for a departure time set at 4pm. So I would rather advise you to arrive 30 minutes earlier that we did.
Embarkation staff (Gilles) was everything but friendly showing no sign of empathy whatsoever he acted like a machine and if he goes on like that, I am sure NCL would do some savings in replacing such a guy by a PC !
