Sail Date: Nov 2006

It's been several weeks since our Thanksgiving cruise... After reading many POA reviews prior to our cruise, I was almost not looking forward to it. Now that all is said and done, I have to say it was a great trip! But not because of POA.

First of all, American Airlines mistagged our luggage so it didn't arrive until our 3rd day. Not NCL fault, but when we told them about the situation, they did little to help us. After booking a flight that didn't get in until 2 hours prior to debarking, we just made the ship due to all the complications at the airport. POA gave my husband and I a small toiletry bag with items we already had in our carry-on. We got to our room tired and frustrated.

Our room was HUGE! We had a American Disability Act room due to an illness I have so our oceanview room was nearly twice the size of my parent's balcony room. When we saw theirs, we realized that we would have never survived in that room all week! My husband is a big guy and would have struggled to even use the shower it was so small and there was basically NO walking space. But, as I said, we had a great room. I read about the cabin service (or lack thereof), so at the beginning of the week I left a "pre-tip" for our steward... and got great service and cleaning all week! Small price to pay I guess.
