This was our 11th cruise on NCL and it was the best ever. Here are the top ten reasons why:

10. Easy embarkation/disembarkation. About as organized and simple as it can get.

9. The ship itself. Everything is new and clean. We loved the abundance of elevators - where they were situated and how quickly they came when we beckoned them. It felt like we were never lost!
