We are an active, retired couple. We are not "fancy" people, but like fun, good food & good service.This was our 2nd Transatlantic (1st was Nov. 2013 on RCL Navigator) & our 27th cruise. We love cruising & had a great experience on the last TA, so we were looking forward to this one. We had not sailed with NCL since 2001 before "Freestyle Dining" was fleet wide.
Flew from Texas the day before & stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ft. Lauderdale. Used Easy Express Shuttle to Miami dock the next day. Handed off our bags to a waiting porter. Embarkation was very easy & first impression of the ship was favorable even though I knew that it was a little worn it looked ok.
I kept a running Pros/Cons list (in no particular order) during the 14 days so here goes:
Location of cabin was good. Cabin size, way too small for a balcony cabin, only 1 tiny nightstand. Side shelves in closet almost inaccessible. Bathroom storage non existent. Balcony with 2 chairs & small table was very private. The weather was good enough that we used it a lot. Good hairdryer not in the bathroom.
