Sail Date: Feb 2015
Cabin: Aft-Facing Penthouse with Large Balcony

While we knew the ship was heading to drydock, we thought it would be in bad shape, but it was far from it. Even with all the previous reviews we had read here, my wife and I thought we picked the wrong ship! It was far from being wrong, it was the "BEST" Ship to be on! It is all about the Team, and this Team was Happy, they worked well together and you could see it, but most importantly, the Team made you part of it!

From the time we came onboard, the Officers and Crew were extremely attentive! My wife and I can honestly say that after over 30 cruises under our sandals, this was by far our very best cruise!

We had to have had the best Norwegian Crew from any of the NCL Vessels. From the Captain & Staff Captain to all of his staff, The Chief Engineer, Klaus, the Hotel Director. Vik, the F & B Manager, Aldo, The Beverage Manager, or Nelson, our Concierge, who all would be at our dining table magically as we finished each meal to ensure all was perfect, only to find out it was better, or all the Assistant Maître ‘d’s who would acknowledge our presence by Name wherever we were onboard.

Cabin Review

Aft-Facing Penthouse with Large Balcony

Cabin SF

The cabin was great. Great storage space, large closet, a sitting room for my wife to do her hair and make-up. A single couch/bed that was great to sit and read in while watching the wake of the ship. The balcony was large enough to sit in the sun on the lounge or have an afternoon nap. But, one of the best features to the staterooms was the coffee/espresso machine and the table for four to sit and enjoy any of the room service meals brought to our room by our Butler Leo! Ashook, our room steward, did an excellent job of ensuring the room was spotless and well stocked, but also answered any questions we may have had as to where to go, how to get there, or to be sure everything we did onboard was perfect!
