I'll preface to say that this was only my wife & I's (age early 40s) 3rd cruise, all 3 with NCL. 1st was the small Sky, then Epic last December, and now this one out of NY. This was a last minute decision, a quick getaway from the cold - we booked on Wednesday Jan 29th, left on Sunday Feb 2. Booked a GTY inside, and they put us in a Mid-Ship Balcony so that was a bonus that made us happy.

Embarkation in NY wasn't too bad. We got there around 10:30 AM and the line ups were minimal at that point. Since it was Superbowl Sunday, the ship was parked at Pier 88, but we had to check-in at Pier 90 so there was a little bit of weirdness there.

The ship itself is beautiful - it's new, what do you expect. I like the layout overall better than the Epic, except I still don't like having the casino in the middle of the place taking up most of Deck 7 including the smoke. I was there for an hour one day and when I went back in my cabin, I smelled like I had been in a smoky bar all night.

Cabin Review

Large Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B6

We booked last minute with a GTY Inside and ended up in the BB category Mid-Ship Balcony. I thought the room was perfect size. I had a large balcony on the EPIC 2 months earlier and thought this cabin was way more spacious and I liked the bathroom better as it was one contained unit. The balcony is small though - just enough for a couple chairs and a small table. This room has the couch by the balcony doors which I thought worked out perfect. You have decent room between the couch and the counter area.
