Reading some of the reviews before I signed up for this cruise made me a bit nervous. I would like to meet some of these folks who wrote the negative reviews. They may be negative people about everything or maybe hired by a competitor. I have been on 18 cruises but this is the 1st on NCL.

Everything from the embarkation to the debarkation was great. The staff was super friendly and also willing to help. We had the drink package and that worked out swell too. Never a problem. I am not a picky eater like some folks but the food in the dining rooms was more than adequate although the variance wasn't there as on other cruise lines. Same with the buffet. The servers in the dining rooms were very pleasant and cordial. With the freestyle dining we had different servers every night. We did not go to the specialty restaurants. If you like the waiters doing dances and parading around like on other cruise ships, freestyle dining is not for you. Myself, I thought it was great. The entertainment throughout the ship was the best I have seen. They have 5 live music groups playing at different times and different areas. The music seems geared to the 50 plus set but there were many younger folks enjoying it too.The main stage shows were fine also from the staff acts to the comedian and ventriliquest(sp). Not many small children on this cruise. Lots of activities during the day. The pool area has 2 pools and 4 whirlpools. There is another whirlpool also located on deck. For those who like to go the gym like myself, plenty of treadmills and ellipticals and other exercise equipment. The men's locker has a sauna and a steam too.

Like I said, just a great cruise. Can't tell you much about the ports. Most of the Caribbean ports are the same unless you book a specific excursion which we did not. Did a taxi tour in Honduras which was fine. Bought a few things in other ports but nothing earth shaking. Enjoy and pay no mind to those negative cruisers.

Cabin OC

Smaller than some other cruise lines but a nice king size bed which may have made the cabin look smaller. There were only 2 of us in the cabin and we aren't huge people and we had no problem with the size at all. Nice flatscreen tv too. Excellent stewardess.
